GREEN BEAN AND CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE
I like to make a savory homemade cream sauce for the timeless green bean casserole. This time I added another vegetable for a delicious twist that sets my casserole apart from the rest! You can omit the vermouth if you'd like by substituting another half cup of chicken broth. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

GREEN BEANS WITH ZUCCHINI AND BACON
A recipe from a Mennonite cookbook "Cooking from Quilt Country" that sounds really tasty. I wanted to save this before I have to return the book to the library. (I have adjusted the amount of oil called for in the recipe, from 3 tbsp to 1-2 tbsp, based upon reviews.)

I got this from Nava Atlas' Vegetarian Kitchen web site. I only changed from crumbling the feta onto the stew after serving to putting the crumbled feta directly into the stew after cooking.

- Slice the vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the casserole.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
