Last Nights Dinner - Summer Vegetable Gratin

[Guest guest]

This came out very good. DH ate it and he hates squash. Next time I make

it I will add a few more vegetables and make it more of a main dish.

Still good though.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

 

* I didn't have leeks so I used a few scallions and used the green and

white parts. If using leeks, please clean them well. Cut them apart,

down the middle of the white part, and wash out the dirt. Do not use the

tops as they are tough. They can be saved for broth making though.
