Yellow Squash Casserole

I thought that this would be a good time to enter my first blog challenge event. At Cookthink.com they host a Root-Source Challenge. It is a weekly recipe contest where readers submit their best recipe using an ingrediant that is the subject of an upcoming Root Source. This week's challenge was Yellow Squash. My submission is my sister Heidi's recipe. It has been a family favorite for decades and everybody from children to seniors love it.

Heidi is not a true vegetarian, because she does eat some meat but is very finicky about eating meat and perfers to fill her plate with vegetables. There is always a wide variety of vegetable dishes at her dinner parties. Everyone loves how she prepares her veggies as they are truely a meal in themselves. In German there is a saying that goes "mit geshmack", (with taste) and that just about sums up this vegetable casserole. It taste great.
