Zucchini, Ham and Pumpkin Slice
"I was given a whole heap of zucchini and made various slices out of them. This one turned out great and is a change from the usual zucchini, bacon and carrot version. Cheese can be easily added to suit your own tastes. Other veggies such as broccoli and capsicum work too. Inspired by an Aussie cooking mag."

PAC 2010 recipe. I was a little hesitant at first when I saw the ingredients but was pleased with the outcome. Rich and creamy and would be a great fall dish. -
An easy and fabulous dish - I left out the ham and used leftover cooked pumpkin that I diced up tiny and it looks great and tastes wonderful - golden on top and firm but creamy inside - thanks Calms79 -
I thought this was quite nice. Loved the flavour. I was a little hesitant to make this because quite frankly I'd never heard of a loaf with meat and raw butternut squash before. Well....it's great! Reminds me mostly of a quiche. It is quite filling too, but packed with good stuff. You can't beat all those veggies and protein. Thanks Calms79, for opening my eyes to something new and for me, different. I think this could serve a lot more than three people. Would be wonderful for a brunch!!!

I live in Adelaide, South Australia and work in accounting and payroll. I'm actually about to start a brand new job with an airline which I am super excited about. I live with my bf and brother and enjoy doing all the cooking in our home. I luckly get out of doing the clearing up! (most of the time)
I collect old cookbooks. I have many from the 60's and 70's and love to compare the differences in entertaining to what is common place now. Some of the tried and true recipes in these cookbooks are priceless
I am completely addicted to meal planning and although I do not always know what I will be making on a particular day I love to be prepared enough to know there is a week or more of options in the house.
I'm currently on the look out for the perfect meatloaf. My mum made a great one which I haven't perfectly duplicated yet. Working on it though.
It was free form not in a pan and basted with a bbq sauce that I swear she once said had coffee in it???
If anyone has any ideas send me a msg.
*** I think I have this worked out and have posted so that I can keep it safe. Sorry all I realise there are thousands of meatloaf recipes out there already.
May 2007- Wooohooooo! I am now a premium memember.... And am enjoying all its benifits endlessly. Although my addiction to Zaar is now out of control.
