I was just given a huge zucchini that morning from a neighbor of mine and thought it would be perfect for this recipe. As I was jumping in to this recipe I realized that I didn't have all the necessary ingredients. So I started substituting. Unfortunately my substitutions were not the best. My crust was sogy it just didn't set right so in the end I basically made a zucchini casserole. While it was edible it was not in any way good enough to share my altered recipe. Lets just say I wouldn't make it again. See pic. Big fail in the appetizing look category!
But I still plan to make SnoWhites recipe, that I am sharing with you today. When I have all the correct ingredients that is!.
Please hop over to Finding Joy in my Kitchen to see her beautiful how to pics and finished product pic! This recipe is all SnoWhites not altered in any way by me.
