Zucchini??? Anyone???


Last night at a family dinner with my mom's family my aunt gave us all some vegetables out of her garden and that included some Zucchini. Here are the amazing zucchini recipes that I have collected.

This first recipe comes from B. Webb a wonderful women that serves with my mother-in-law in their ward relief society presidency. I have to say I wondered how it would be with no meat but it is totally to die for.

Zucchini Casserole

What you will need.

1/2 Chopped Onion
1 Cup Shredded carrots
1/2 Cup butter
1 Box Chicken Stove top Stuffing (We use Pork so my bother-in-law can eat it)


First melt 1/4 cup butter in the bottom of the sauté pan. Next add the Zucchini, Crock neck squash, celery, onion, and carrots. Cook until all vegetables become soft and zucchini because almost a see through color. Next Mix Sour cream and Cream soup together. You will also need to melt remaining amount of butter and mix it with your box of stove top stugging. In a 9 x 13 baking dish cover bottom of pan with cooked vegetables, top with sauce mixture, then sprinkle top with stove top stuffing. Cook in over at 350* for about 30 to 40 minutes.
