[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it flavorful. I also found the zucchini to be a bit mushy. I think I'll try roasting it next time.

[email protected]This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more sauce next time. The flavor was good, but it needed a little something extra. Maybe some diced tomatoes or green chilies.

[email protected]Meh. This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I think it needed more seasoning or something. I also found the zucchini to be a bit bland. Maybe if I had roasted it first, it would have had more flavor.
