Zucchini Herb Casserole

Rating: 4.5 stars 1063
I've been making this casserole for almost 20 years and it's always a hit. Even my meat-eater husband likes it. Serve with a crusty French bread or soft breadsticks. Leftovers are great in an omelet the next day.

Apricot Almond Pilaf

Rating: 4.5 stars 10
