  1. All I can say is wow, wow.... oh, and did I say wow!!!....Glitz, as all of your recipes, this is one big time winner you got girl! I made this tonight for dinner for DH and myself, with the zucchini from my overstocked garden. Although I think my zucchini was more than 4 inches long, I had just enough filling for them. I already had the cooked beef in the freezer, so that was a big time saver. I made the recipe as stated, and used feta cheese on four, and Parm cheese on the other four. This was certainly a filling meal, one of the best zucchini recipes I have ever made, and I thank you so much for posting another winner Glitter. I will make this again, we just loved them!. Great way to use up zuchinni from the garden!...Kitten:)

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
