Eggplant and Zucchini Gratin/ Blackberry-Orange Salad

All year long I look forward to delicious summer produce...the combination of eggplant, zucchini and tomato is totally amazing; there are endless combinations and ways to cook these three together. I have yet to meet such a recipe that I didn't like but this one is particularly pretty and works well as either main course or side-dish, plus it’s super easy...make this and toss together a salad and you have dinner in well under an hour.

Tian de Legumes

One of my favorite dishes is this "Tian de Legumes"- which is really just French for vegetable casserole, the recipe comes out of the Simply Slow Cooking cookbook by Joanne Glynn, it really doesn't take long to make and can be done in advance but it does take forever in the oven so- plan ahead.
