Personal Notes:
Usually this type of casserole involves cheese and heavy cream but this version omits that and you never miss it! It think it would work well with zucchini
or a mix of both. Also, I buy the grated carrots in the bag salad section of the grocery store or you can get them off the salad bar if your store has one. Perfect side for a summer dinner or get-together!!
