Thanks Jill! I'm always looking for new recipes to incorporate getting my veggies in - and zucchini is my newest veggie of late (I'm not a real big veggie eater to begin with ) I was wondering what I should make for supper for myself while the rest of my family is having spaghetti...... Plus the leftovers will last me all week!

I had this for breakfast today. It is so good. I shredded the zucchini in my food processor. I really like the idea of adding shredded zucchini in recipes, I am not fond of it in chunks The cream cheese really makes this recipe, yummy.

OMG! This was soooo good! I'm not a big veggie eater but have recently found that I kinda like zucchini, especially shredded and not in big chunks (eyoo!) Looks like I know what I'll be having for supper over the next few nights! lol I wonder if it would freeze well? Hmm......

Again, thanks for sharing this recipe!

Thumbs up mmmmm!

made this recipe this past weekend for company, it was dee-licious!

didn't have zuccinni so I used mushrooms, onions and green pepper, sauteed lightly

gonna make it again for breakfast tomorrow

I think it would be good at room temp as well as hot out of the oven

I'm taking a couple slices with me to Va Beach, where I'm going to a wedding, staying two nights in a hotel. All the rooms have little mini refrigerators so I think they would keep just fine.

The hotel has a free breakfast, but if it's like all the others, they offer nothing but breads, bagels, cereals, waffles, fruit, etc.

nothing but sugar, sugar, sugar
