You can use either broccoli or zucchini. We made it this week and the kids ate the entire pan! I had to hide some for Jacob. It was soooo good and with the alfredo sauce I found it was also gluten free!<div>

<br />1 cup milk or sour cream
<br />3 large potatoes, sliced lengthwise about 1/8 inch thick
<br />5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
<br />Salt (I prefer garlic salt)
<br />Pepper
<br />1-1/2 cups diced ham
<br />1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed (or two zucchini grated with large grate)
<br />2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
<br />Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Alfredo sauce and milk. Spread 1/4 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Then layer 1/3 of the potatoes over the sauce in the dish. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
<br />In a separate medium bowl, combine the ham, broccoli and 1 1/2 cups of the colby jack. Mix well and spread 1/3 of this mixture over the potatoes in the baking dish. Then top with another layer of potatoes, followed by the ham mixture, finally topping all with the remaining colby jack and Parmesan cheese. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over all.
<br />Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake at 350 degrees for additional 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

If you want to spice up your Valentines evening, well here you go! So funny!! Here is a yummy recipe if you are in the market.<br /><br />From <a href="http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2009/03/white-velvet-sugar-cookies.html">melskitchencafe.com</a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">White Velvet Sugar Cookies</span><br /><br /><br />2 cups butter, softened<br />1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened<br />2 cups sugar<br />2 egg yolks<br />1 teaspoon vanilla<br />4 ¾ cups flour<br /><br />Cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, egg yolks and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour. The dough will be VERY soft; don’t worry, it gets firmer after chilling. Cover and chill two hours or until firm. Roll out on floured surface to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into shapes; place on greased baking sheets (or use parchment paper). Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set (but not browned). Cool 5 minutes. Place on wire racks to cool.
