  1. My husband and I both thought this was very tasty! We don't like celery, so I used chopped carrot instead, and added egg as a binder as previously suggested. It was a great way to use up an overgrown squash (I didn't use the pithy center part).
     
  2. Very Good! Served with a grilled steak and tangy salad.Will increase the sour cream and add an egg to bind it next time.
     
  3. Yet another winner!! My picky dh who for the last 13 years has claimed he's "allergic" to zucchini actually ate this and liked he said he like the cheese and bacon in it.My ds ate most of it by himself and he's 18 months old.I didn't dice my zucchini but I did cut it into half circles. Just because I like that shape. I myself didn't care for the celery and will probably not add them in the next time I make it, because there will be a next time. I found as soon as I took it out of the oven it did have a sorty of leaky texture to it but once I let it sit and cool a bit it got a bit firmer. And the flavors were great, they all seemed to enhance each other. This will be yet another new addition to my family. Thanks again for another winner Parsley!
     
  4. This was okay, but didn't seem cohesive enough. The flavor was good but the diced squash weren't held together by the cheesy sauce. May be better if the zucchini were sliced (as in the usual potato au gratin). I cooked it for a little longer than called for in the recipe in an attempt to thicken up the sauce before deciding that it was done but wasn't going to solidify. I may play with this recipe a little more, because, as stated, the flavor was good.
