That does sound good. Thank you.
Looks so good
It looks comforting and warming!
I love gratins, especially in the cooler months. Hearty and comforting.
This sounds and looks delicious, as do all your recipes. Perfect for this time of year too. I think I'm going to have to go back through your blog to locate some of the delicious recipes to try because I really need to look at reducing my carbohydrate intake.

Sounds and looks nice Jan.
Looks tasty and easy. The perfect supper dish.
Great idea - a nice vegetable casserole. I haven't done that in forever. Perfect for autumn now, when the wind is blowing and it's cold outside... I can't go out without a scarf and hat.
Thank you Jan... the casserole goes into my oven.
Many warm greetings from Viola.
Hello Jan :=) It looks Ideal for a cold Autumn evening meal. I love gratin meals, besides tasting good, they only use one dish to cook them in the oven. Thank you for the recipe.
Sounds and looks good. Perfect for a night like tonight, rainy and cool.
Mmmmm that looks delicious.
Oooh this looks lovely! Unfortunately, I can't have cheese for a while, it turns out that I have gallstones (which is why I've not been around for a while). Hopefully things will settle down now.
Take care and have a great weekend, Sue xx
