The CSA share this week:

It was actually only supposed to include 4 zucchini, but there is a "trade" box, so if you don't like something you can trade for a different vegetable. I didn't think the cucumbers look too great, so I traded mine for zucchini.
My thrown together casserole included:
2 large onions (Vidalia, actually), chopped and cookedsome chopped garlic (again my little Trader Joes garlic cubes)
fresh chopped basil, rosemary and parsley from my garden - generous handfuls
3 zucchini, sliced into half moons
2 cans of diced tomatoes, drained
about 2 pounds ground beef, browned and drained
1 cup leftover cooked rice from my freezer
salt, pepper (I was heavy handed with the fresh ground pepper - gave it a nice bite)
shredded mozzarella
bread crumbs
I combined all of the ingredients except the cheese and bread crumbs, poured it into a 13 x 9 pan, and then topped it off with the cheese and crumbs. Then bake at 375 for a bit longer than I did - I probably baked it twenty-five minutes, but we were hungry and impatient. Forty minutes would probably be perfect.
It was SO wonderfully fragrant with the fresh herbs and garlic. Next time I think I would do the same thing, but with Italian sausage instead of the browned beef.
