Possibly my most favorite zucchini main meal. A definite staple while we were growing up.
1 pkg Stove Top stuffing mix
3 cup zucchini, diced or grated
1/4 onion, diced or grated
1 c carrots, dicd or grated
2 Tbsp margarine or butter
1 tsp salt
Mix together:
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c sour cream
1 cup chicken or turkey, cut up
1 cup grated cheese
Melt maragrine in bottom of pan and carefully cook veggies until tender. Add a little water if necessary. Add this to veggies and pour in casserole dish. Pour bread crumbs from stuffing mix on top. Bring to a boil 1 1/2 cups water with seasoning packet (if it has it) pour over bread crumbs, moistening each one. Bake at 300 for 30 minutes.
It's Been a long journey to get to where I am. Sometimes it feels like I start and stop and start again. Revisiting things I have done, said I would do, know and haven't done. So to get out of this rut of starting and stopping again, I am revitalizing this blog and creating a Knowledgebase. A place to learn from my life experiments and remember what I set out to do. Building upon the knowledge I had before. Always learning and always improving

Meat Pasties
These are a bit like hot pockets only homemade. I didn't care for them as a child but have grown fonder as I have gotten older. I would try mozzerella cheese if you aren't a swiss fan, it could change the whole experience.
