Creamy Vegetable Gratin Recipe
If you’re like me, you can have a hard time getting your kiddos to eat vegetables. I am sympathetic to not liking every little thing because I am also a picky eater. I at least try to get my kids (and myself) to try new things and branch out a little bit. This Creamy Vegetable Gratin is yummy and cheesy. It’s almost like fooling yourself into eating vegetables. It makes a great side dish for any day of the week and can be put together pretty quickly.
