Zealous Zucchini

Well I was able to get my computer fixed and now it is running great (Yippie!!!)! So Monday I will feature August’s MOM. Until then here is a great recipe that is an easy, cheesy and family pleasin’ side dish (make it before all that summer zucchini is gone) that is a personal favorite of mine.
