SCALLOPED TOMATOES (BAREFOOT CONTESSA)
FANTASTIC! A great side dish for just about any meal. Save this recipe for when your tomatoes in the garden are ripe and luscious! (or if you have a Farmer's Market, get them from there). First made this in 2009, and have used large cherry tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes and they were great too...good tomatoes for this are a MUST! I have also added about 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese along with the 1 cup of parmesan on the top for a real cheesy treat! Any rustic bread will do, but make sure you cut it in the 1/2 inch dice. Also, use fresh Parmesan cheese, it really makes a difference. It's VERY important to get it into the oven as soon as possible, else it may end up a bit soggy. This is adapted from Barefoot Contessa; Episode Farm Stand Food.

CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES
This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.
