Ratatouille
Ratatouille is one of my favorite ways to use up all the extra produce left in my refrigerator before my next CSA or Farmer's Market Visit. It's quick, easy and can be made with any ingredients you have on hand.  It can be made ahead and reheated when you are ready to serve it up.

  7. You cannot beat dishes like this - so much good stuff packed in there! We do a lot of zucchini and tomato variations, but I don't incorporate eggplant very often - I am definitely saving this one to try!
