  1. I made half the recipe. I used 1 red bell pepper. I had to omit the mushrooms cause they turned bad. I didn't use cayenne pepper because my son would have find it too spicy. I used mozzarella cheese and a leftover of strong cheddar. I added just a little bit of dried oregano and basil. Thanks Sara. That's really good. Even my son loved it. Made for the Count Dracula and His Hot Bites for ZWT7
     
  2. A lovely family friendly recipe that certainly fills you up! I couldn't bring myself to use one kilo of cheese!! so used some panko crumbs mixed with Parmesan and a bit of olive oil. I think some cream cheese would be nice mix in to. Tonight I served with garlic bread.
     
  3. This was a hit with both adults and toddler in our house (easy on the cayenne). A HUGE amount of food, and a simple and slightly different recipe. It also froze and microwaved well. Definitely having this again!
     
  4. This is so delicious! It is'nt all that cheesey, but it's full of flavor. I love how full of veggies it is. The grated zucchini sort of "disappears".... kids and husbands won't even know it's in there. ;) I was out of mushrooms, but I can imagine how awesome they would be in this dish. I will certainly make this again and make sure that I have mushrooms. Thanx for sharing your sis's recipe.

I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia. I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes! I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!. My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here. I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking. I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
