Zucchini Casserole
"This is good! I've never been too big of a zucchini eater, but I am addicted to this recipe. for a complete meal, add layers of diced chicken breast, ground beef or turkey. Spinach is a nice addition to the sauce/ zucchini mixture. I also mix up the cheeses I use."

Excellent healthy recipe. I forgot the salt and pepper and didn't have an Italian spices so just threw in some spices (in larger quantities) from the kitchen. Also only had cheddar and mozerella cheeses and they worked fine! My 2 year old gobbled it up, you should have seen her making a mess of the kitchen with tomato sause all over her body and face and hair and clothes. SHe loved it and even asked for seconds and she is a VERY picky eater. She was also able to help in the kitchen, which was nice. I made this to go with the sweet vanilla cornbread, and it was a disaster. Perhaps a denser non sweet cornbread would have been a nice acompinant. Or garlic bread. We ate this for a main dish with the bread and this would have been fine if it weren't for the aformentioned bread fiasco. Overall, a delicious and healthy dish...a bit "stew-y" because of the liquid...but very good. Other veggies are possible to add (like carrots) but I liked the simplicity of this dish.
