Fresh From the Freezer
Summer flavor is as close as your freezer with these quick-and-easy recipes for colorful casseroles and side dishes.
Coarsely chop an equal amount of partially thawed, frozen sliced yellow squash, and use in place of fresh for a quick start on Two-Cheese Squash Casserole. Because most frozen vegetables are already blanched, it eliminates having to precook them before adding to a casserole. We also substituted an equal amount of frozen broccoli and cauliflower for fresh in Broccoli Parmesan and Broccoli-and-Cauliflower Gratin with excellent results.
