Eat Your Vegetables -- Here's the Perfect Casserole

Jean Martin, a long time Peachtree Corners resident, pleases family and friends with this tasty side dish.

Eat your vegetables. We all know that’s important but it’s not always top on our list of priorities. This casserole, containing a variety of vegetables, is a great way to bring veggies to the table for everyone to enjoy. It’s also good because you can prepare it ahead of time, then add the topping and bake it when it’s time to get dinner going.

Jean Martin and her husband John have lived in Peachtree Corners for the past 30 years. Martin says, “Since the day I moved here I’ve enjoyed the people I met. I love my neighborhood, which is large but doesn’t seem that way.” During those years she’s had many occasions to serve meals to family and friends and this vegetable casserole is often a part of the menu. 

Martin says this casserole is great when you need to take a dish to an event. It’s also good for guests and is even better the next day if you have any left over. The best part is that it’s simple to prepare. Try it next time you want to impress someone with your veggie know how.
