My family
consists of picky eaters and I have to hide their vegetables in chocolate zucchini cake or conceal in cheese to get them to eat any nutritious foods. So when I found one of my mother’s recipes
for a cheesy
vegetable casserole for adults I knew I could modify it and make it more
appealing for kids.
