For those of us here in the colonies, Cougettes are better known as Zucchini.

Ah, thanks for the translation :) This sounds wonderful, and pretty easy. I wonder if the small people in my house would eat it? I know the big people would gobble it up!

I am making a recipe request for that broccoli and cauliflower bake that we talked about in NC. Thanks!
