This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The zucchini was a bit too mushy for my taste.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The zucchini is disguised in the rice, so they won't even know they're eating it.
