Review
I was craving Mexican flavors yesterday PLUS I had a bounty of tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash from my garden. After researching several recipes for squash casseroles, I created this one which is a little more healthy, fed the cravings for that South of the border flavor, and used my favorite summer time vegies!
