I cannot for the life of me, understand why this hasn't be rated yet. But I'm glad to be the first one, as I suspect now, there will be loads of people flocking to this "keel-over" from the most wonderful taste of it. I followed this pretty much exactly, except I didn't have canned chilies, rather ~ I used my chilies from the garden, cut small just as if they had been in a can. This produced the most wonderful squash (zucchini) casserole I have tasted! The chilies, (which are not hot - but do have a great taste to them) really develop into a complete finished food-product that you won't be able to quit sneaking off bites here and there. For the photo I put some fresh garden lettuces on top and around, with some extra cheese sprawled across the top. Delicious! :)

I am blessed with a wonderful dh and four fantastic, crazy children. I am a stay at home mom who works from son up till son down.
My favorite cookbook is not one that I cook with very often, it actually sits on top of my pantry propped up in an old basket. The cookbook was given to my grandmother just prior to her marriage to my grandfather and it has the family prayer and some recipes that my great-grandmother penned in her own hand inside. It is called All About Home Baking.
