Great Dish!June 26, 2009By monkeyorama
"We had this dish for dinner last night and it was wonderful. I substituted veggie bacon for the bacon, and it worked well. My three year old announced it was the best dinner ever. I was liberal with the salt when simmering the zucchini and salting it afterwards per the recipe. :)"
