...not a common dish for us.
I don't think I've ever had a gratin. This sounds good. I love celery, haven't had leeks much, but I bet this combo is good!
That sounds delicious...
Gracias por la receta. Se ve muy rico. Te mando un beso.
Looks ok Jan.
Don't mind gratin
All gratins are good.
Una receta interesante. Que tengas una feliz semana.
Lovely combination of vegetables. I could eat celery till the cows come home.
Love any cheese dish especially when used with vegetables - a really tasty sounding dish.
Love Gratins, will be trying this one too. Thanks Jan
I always think of celery as something you add in small amounts, not as part of the dish. I think that idea. This sounds yummy. Happy new week!
A lovely, easy and tasty recipe for today. Thank you, Jan.

Hubby is trying to cut out all white bread and I can't seem to be able to find whole wheat bread crumbs, just thought maybe Amazon, I will have to look that up. I have never made my own bread crumbs, might have to resort to that.
