    Why we ❤️ it

    This week I decided to go back to an old favorite dish of mine and make a one-dish meal with this potato, zucchini and cheese casserole.

    Also this week we were hit by a tropical storm. Luckily--besides having been rained on and on for four days--nothing else happened. The good side of it is that the temperature dropped low enough that I could use my oven without the whole place feeling like midday in the Sahara.

    This simple dish is nearly a whole meal in itself. It packs protein, carbohydrate, dairy, and vegetables in a cheesy, warm, soft slice. And the leftovers--because the portions are pretty big in this recipe--can be packed the next day for the school lunch, as it keeps very well and tastes better the next day.

    Buen provecho!

    Do you know what the best kind of substitute would be for eggs in this recipe?

    I made something similar the other night but I didn't grate the vegetables. I must try that next time. It would be more like a cake and less like an omelette.

    This is gonna be my first time trying Dominican food. And I know ima love it I'm really open about trying new things especially other culture foods. It's also been two months since I've been a vegetarian, but I still eat seafood.
