Creamy Squash Casserole Recipe

This squash casserole recipe features sharp Cheddar cheese, yellow squash and a buttery, crispy cracker topping. It is key to cook down the squash in the skillet first, then drain and pat it dry as best you can so the casserole doesn't become too watery. Yellow squash lends a pretty yellow hue, but bright green zucchini works well too.

Herbed Tomato Gratin

Vegetable gratin recipes often have a crunchy breadcrumb or crouton topping. But summer tomatoes are too gorgeous to hide, so we tucked crusty cubes of bread underneath them instead. Plus, the bread soaks up all the juicy tomato goodness. If you can't find marjoram, fresh basil or oregano makes a good substitute.
