Summer Veggie Casserole is a delicious way to use all those colorful summer vegetables popping up in the produce section
I generally buy all my vegetables when they are on sale because it means that they are in season. Seasonal veggies usually mean that's when veggies taste their best.
Since summer is just around the corner, zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes are filling the produce section of the grocery store.
I decided that I wanted to make a veggie casserole with all those seasonal veggies.
Just veggies, cheese, herbs, and cracker topping.
Summer veggie perfection.
