Made these brownies exactly as written, with the exception of no frosting (they didn't need it!) They were super moist and tasty. I admit I was a bit afraid when I first mixed the oil and sugar and added the dry ingredients, but once the zucchini was added, it was a nice stiff brownie batter. They were wonderful, and knowing they were made with vegetables took away just a LITTLE of the guilt. Wonderful way to use up that surplus zucchini. Thanks for the recipe, Marian.

Okay, I never take the time to review a recipe, but I was looking for some type of a meat dish to fix for Thanksgiving dinner for my vegetarian kids, and the reveiws for this were so good I had to give it a try. And after trying, I had to review it! I am totally impressed, and can't wait for my kids to try it. After reading some of the other reviews, I did alter it slightly. First of all, I used my food processor and creamed fat free cottage cheese, b/c that's what I had. Then I used it to chop up about 3/4 c. of almonds, b/c that's what I had. I also used it to finely chop corn flakes, until I had 2 1/2 c. I only added about 2 T. oil and 1/2 pkg onion soup mix. I put it all in the food processor, added a little steak dust, some Kitchen Bouquet and a little liquid smoke and some bbq sauce and garlic pepper. Mixed it all well, poured into 2 smaller loaf pans, baked at 350 35 min, put a little more bbq sauce on top and broiled 5 min. Took it out, cooled it, and was WOWED with how much it tasted like meat loaf. I was a little concerned about the almonds, but like another reviewer said, I think it gives it more that beefy texture. Don't be afraid to try this recipe. It can be altered a lot of ways, but it surprisingly delicious! Next time, I may add some veggies just for more nutrition. Thank you, Kittyann!

Was looking for a different pasta salad for a Father's Day family dinner. This one was PERFECT!!! EVERYONE loved it and wanted the recipe. I didn't have the red and green peppers, but added some green onion and some diced pimento for color. The chili powder and cumin added a wonderful flavor, and we loved the extra kick from the lime juice. It did seem a bit dry after it marinated overnight, so I added a little more olive oil and lime juice the next day. Even my men, who don't like my "girly salads" devoured this. Thank you, Lisa!
