Hide the Veggies Please! Summer Squash and Zucchini Corn Casserole
This recipe was created in response to a few picky veggie eaters in my household who love corn casserole, but aren’t fond of some garden favorites. This gets gobbled up every time! No one ever guesses at the amount of veggies inside this firm but creamy yumminess! This great potluck pleaser freezes well. I used freshly chopped squash and zucchini as well as frozen chopped veggies (originally from my garden).

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.
This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
