SAUSAGE & SQUASH CASSEROLE

0 vote

I realized that the last time I had people over for brunch was in March, and it hasn’t occurred to me to do it again until recently. It’s like summertime is made for being served brunch on a restaurant patio. (By the way, there’s a super cute breakfast place on the South Shore called Péché Matinal. It’s on St-Charles Street in Old Longueuil. Just sayin’…)

I wanted to start making breakfast at home, maybe because I was ending my days around 8 p.m. and lying on the couch to soothe my aching back (I say that with a smile, and not as a complaint).

Anyway, here’s a sausage and squash casserole recipe that you’re guaranteed to love.
