Zucchini Casserole

OK I can officially say that I feel Fall in the air now.  I was able to leave my windows open until 2 pm yesterday before shutting them all and turning on the A/C.  This makes me very happy.  Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year.

I can't wait for apples to be ready to pick and to come up with some new ideas and recipes for those.  If you have any good ones let me know.

Now on to this zucchini casserole that has been in the Jennings family for who knows how long.  I can tell you this much.  When I was given the recipe to copy down it still had some of the "old time" measurements.  For instance, did you know that Campbell's soup used to come in a larger can? Did you know that Stove Top stuffing came in a different sized box also?  I had no idea but when I mentioned it to my dad he knew all about it.  Go figure.

Anyway, this recipe is awesome.  I can see why it's a family favorite.

Thank you for the recipe Lenny!
