  1. Yum! This looks delicious! Will definitely have to try this one. We don’t really celebrate Halloween here in Australia but this recipe would be fun any time I think and use the mozzarella to make different shapes

  2. I love the mummy! After a run of zucchini and eggplant from our garden I don’t think my kids will tolerate another squash casserole BUT I’ll apply the inspiration to something else 🙂 Thanks!

  3. I love casseroles, I used to make them all the time, easy and so yummy, just with a good crusty bread on the side. But I stopped doing it here, because we don’t have the right cheeses. So I’m doing curries instead, well, the Hubs is doing them. 😉

  4. The recipe sounds delicious, but I can’t get over that mummy!! That is just too cute!! I hope you don’t mind if I completely steal this idea!

  7. Oh my word JDaniels, you are so creative! Love the mummy! That is great! I bet that got the little one to eat. PS. be sure to stop by & rejoin, had GFC issues lost all followers, having to rebuild. Happy Wednesday~ Hugs, Leah

  11. Oh, YES! I have zucchini and I am not afraid to use it 😀 Thanks for a great new recipe idea. I can hardly wait to see my family’s faces when they see it come out of the oven.

  12. Oh, how fun!! What a great way to play with your food, without playing with it at the table….perfect for kidlets & grownups! :>

  20. What a fun recipe! My kids would love the mummy. Not sure they would touch the zucchini though, but I would! Looks yummy! I love your ideas and have added you to my blogroll under Blogs I Love. Vicky from http://www.messforless.net

  23. Hehe! this is cute and I bet a wonderful dish! I love zucchini!

    Thanks for the comment on WW. We bought that when we were on vacation for him. He loves it too!

  39. That is just a hoot. I have made cookies that look like baby strollers and pancakes that look like giraffe’s but nothing like that! How clever!

  41. I love how the mummy melted into the casserole! Very cool! 🙂 That gives me the idea of doing the mummy on a homemade pizza crust! Too cool! 🙂 My talented friend gives me such great ideas! 🙂

  43. Hello.
    This looks quite yummy.
    My wife is the cook in the family & she might just try this for a weeknight change.

    Excellent presentation!

    Thanks for sharing & visiting.

  47. That zucchini mummy is just so cute 🙂 This recipe looks really good! Now I really wish zucchini’s are easy to find in Tokyo!

  49. The mummy is so cute, and such a simple (& inexpensive) way to have a little Halloween fun!

  51. That looks so yummy! If my mom’s oven is working I’d definitely give this one a try 😀

  54. Holy zamboni! This is so clever and fun!

    I totally love this idea! I wonder if my Grandlittles owuld eat it! Well, wait. Yeah…there’s cheese. I’m pretty darned sure they would!
