Shari's Ratatouille
A quick one skillet veggie dish. ******** During the summer I cook my Ratatouille and serve it with fresh corn on the cob. The corn only cooks for three min so this is a fast summer meal. ***Ratatouille entree, a side of Chicken rice, fresh corn on the cob and just picked strawberry shortcake served with homemade ice cream. *** I am missing summer!
