I have fixed this Zucchini and Sausage Casserole a few times now. It is so yummy that Grace practically licked her plate clean the other night when I fixed it. It's
definitely a comfort food, and honestly, it reminds me of biscuits and gravy. Here's the recipe:
Zucchini and Sausage Casserole
4 Medium Zucchini, quartered 1/2 inch thick
1/4 Cup of melted butter
1 lb. of breakfast sausage
4 Cups of Chicken Flavored Stuffing Mix (i.e. Stove Top)
1 Can of Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
8 oz. of Sour Cream
Black Pepper to taste
Brown sausage in a large skillet. As the sausage browns,
sautee the zucchini in the same pan (yes, they are cooking together). Combine Cream of Chicken soup, sour cream, and pepper. Stir the melted butter into the stuffing mix. Spray cooking spray in an 8x 13 casserole dish. Layer 2 cups of the stuffing and butter mixture into the bottom of the casserole dish. Combine the cooked sausage and zucchini with the soup and sour cream mixture. Layer the sausage, zucchini, soup, etc. over the stuffing. Complete the layers by spreading the last two cups of stuffing on top of the zucchini sausage mixture. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the casserole is heated through.
I'm telling you . . . they'll eat their vegetables when you serve this!
Do you see how clean that plate is?
Of course, Gabriel wanted to drive the Indy car first.
And if Gabe does it, Grace has to try it out too!
Next we went to the Playscape where Grace immediately found the water table.
Papaw showed her how the fishing pole worked, but she had her own ideas about it.
Gabriel rode this hand car. He was really good at it.
After getting wet at the water table, what could be better than a sand table?
Gabriel enjoyed the train table. I think this is the first time that he's played at a train table without his sister taking his trains away.
Grace went with Grandma to make some dinosaur rubbings.
Then our little mama could help herself . . . she found a baby and fed him some pizza and grapes.
She liked all of the boys and girls playing around her, as long as NO ONE touched HER baby.
Next, Gabriel played at the sand table.
Grace tried out the hand car, but wasn't strong enough to make it move on her own.
Grace the Builder . . . Can she fix it? Yes, she can!
Gabe the Builder . . . alright, we'll leave the building to Bob.
As we made our way to the fourth floor, the kids stopped to look at a few doll houses.
On the fourth floor, they found an old-fashioned ice cream shop to play in.
Gabe climbed into the tree house.
Then, he went back to the ice cream shop --- that would be my choice too.
Now that we are museum members, we get to ride the carousel for FREE. Yea!
Our last stop was the trains. The kids were so cranky that the pictures of them were not good. Papaw was still in good spirits though!

Our sweet girl prefers salty snacks. She was in heaven when we let her hold the pretzel bag.
