Green and Gold Casserole

Green and Gold Casserole

My high school colors were green and gold, and my family is from Springfield, Oregon, sister-city to Eugene, home of the Oregon Ducks, whose colors are also green and gold. Which is what makes this zucchini and yellow squash casserole so much fun. I could take it to a class reunion or a football party and be a winner either way.
