Fresh From The Market

by Kasey

Well, by now I’m sure you have read about our trip to the Farmer’s Market this past weekend and have seen the pics from our trip.  In case you haven’t…here’s my two favs!

Aren’t they the cutest?!  Well, I am a little biased!  : )

Anyway…we picked up this while we were there…

So, we’ve been enjoying our fresh produce all week and Daisy her fresh doggie bones.

-Saturday we had the corn on the cob with burgers and fresh tomatoes.

-Sunday we had a nice big salad with fresh tomatoes and cukes

-Monday we had some yummy, juicy melon (and are still enjoying it today…look at that thing!)

-And today we made Zucchini & Tomato Casserole and it was YUUUMMMYY!

It’s so easy to make and it’s one of those dishes like I mentioned in my Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars post – there really isn’t a “recipe” but I’ll let you know how we made it and you can come up with your own concoction too!  : )

We started with…

1 squash
1 zucchini
1 sweet onion
2 tomatoes
some evoo (extra virgin olive oil)
shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese
Italian breadcrumbs

First slice the veggies up and layer in pan…

Next – sprinkle on some evoo, a little of the shredded cheeses and some salt and pepper to taste.  I like to mix this all together, but I don’t think you really have too.  My husband and I had a big debate over if we did it in the past or not.  Guess who won that one!  : )

Next put a layer of the cheeses on top and then sprinkle on some of the bread crumbs t0 form a crust when brown.

That’s it!  Cover with some foil and bake at 375 degrees for about 35 mins then uncover and bake for 20 mins more or until the veggies are tender and the cheese is a golden brown.  Let it sit uncovered for a little bit to cool and  thicken up.

This is really good with some Italian sausage or grilled chicken breasts with a little Italian seasoning on them.

Remember this is best if you have FRESH veggies.  I’ve tried it with regular veggies from the store.  Not the same!   But, I guess if you didn’t know the difference….  : )

My kids even loved this one and it’s always a hit when we take it to potlucks.  Let me know if you try it!  I’d love to have your take on some changes to make it even better.

Good luck!  I look forward to your comments!
