A thoughtful friend brought me lunch the other day. One of the items that delighted my palate was a Zucchini Casserole. Being a farm girl and growing up in the Midwest, I thought I had experienced ALL possible casseroles AND all zucchini recipes. To my surprise, that was not true. I searched the internet for a recipe that seemed similar to my friend’s. I share it with you after giving it a test drive on my family and making a few healthy modifications to the recipe found online. Let me know if you give it a try and how it turned out for you. This dish makes a great side dish and might possibly be even better the next day.
