How To Make Ratatouille
Since I currently cannot travel, I have been bringing food from around the world to my kitchen. This weekend I was watching Ratatouille on Disney Plus, and it inspired me to make this French dish at home. I couldn\’t believe how easy this ratatouille was to make, so I had to share this healthy baked ratatouille recipe with you.
What is ratatouille?
Ratatouille is a French dish that traditionally has eggplant, tomatoes, and other veggies.
Are you ready to learn how to make ratatouille? This baked ratatouille dish may look fancy, but it\’s really easy to put together and packed with veggies. Serve it as a side to fish or chicken or make it the star of a vegetarian meal. No matter how you serve it, I think you\’ll love how easy it was to make. I decided on zucchini, yellow squash, tomato, and onion. Eggplant is hit and miss for me, so I decided to leave it out.
Quick and Easy Ratatouille
Ingredients:
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes drained
dash of olive olive
1.5 teaspoons Herbs de Provence
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
pinch of sea salt
2 roma tomatoes (sliced)*
1-2 zucchini (thinly sliced)
1 yellow squash (thinly sliced)
1 small purple onion (thinly sliced)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender. Puree until smooth.
3. Spread the sauce in a thin layer in a round or oval casserole dish.
4. Arrange the veggies in a spiral, alternating them.
5. Bake for 30 minutes or until the veggies are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
*The roma tomatoes did not look good when I was at the store, so I got regular tomatoes and just sliced them smaller.

Friday Favorites 1.15.20
TGIF, did anyone else feel like every single day this week was a new day and the week was never going to end? It was definitely a rough one! We made it to Friday though, and that\’s something to celebrate. We still have NO snow, not even a little bit joking. Water isn\’t frozen and the grass is completely exposed. The weatherman insists that we are getting some this weekend, but we shall see. Here are some of my favorites from this past week:
I discovered Maui Gold Pineapples from Maui, and I never want to eat pineapple from the grocery store again.
The Calm app really helped me through the week.
