PEGGY'S FAVORITE SUMMER SQUASH BAKE

Peggy's Favorite Summer Squash Bake image

Found in my grandmother's shoebox of clipped recipes. She had a number of vegetable "bakes" -- all a little faded and some with handwritten notes. This one had "Peggy's favorite!" written across the bottom. I have no idea who Peggy is or was -- but she evidently really liked this one.
