Yummy Zucchini Recipe

Zucchini Casserole from Allrecipes.com

(I cubed bread & baked it & used that instead of stuffing, which I did not have)

I found this recipe to be great for emptying some items in my fridge I had not yet used. Because of my GREEN bags, my zucchini's last 2 weeks...but I try to use them up & this recipe got 4 stars out of 5 mouths in our family!!

Try it out, your fam might like it!

How long does your produce last?

For 1 1/2 years I have been using the GREEN BAGS from Debbie Meyer. I love them. My produce will ast 2 weeks & even longer. I resuse the bags & only have to buy new once maybe twice a year. SUCH a good deal.
