Like Fennel for Chocolate

I was cooking again. I've got to get the stuff out of my fridge before the big Thanksgiving organic order for the buying group. I had 6 or 7 yellow squash so I made a casserole.

The kids, especially Maryn, get so happy when I cook. Maryn was going on and on before bed about how much she loved me and what a great cook I was - best mother in teh world and all that. All I could think of was Josh at about 2 or 3ish? Telling me what a great cook his mom was as she was making cardboard pancakes from a box. "Mmm! My favorite, Mom, pancakes! Yay!" Worst pancakes I ever ate in my life. I'm not sure I made it past the first bite, even though I remember that I was starving. But Scott also raved, so maybe it wasn't too bad.  Here goes:

Organic ingredients, ungreased glass pan, 350, 30+ min.
Layer sliced yellow squash; minced shallots, garlic, and red bell; sliced cherry tomatoes, shitakes, lots of cut fennel greens, little bits of cheese (I used organic probiotic); light salt, pepper, & ground nutmeg. Repeat layer but without seasonings. Then, for top layer, put yellow squash, cut fennel greens (sprinkled lightly), spread little pieces of whole grain bread and ground walnuts, season lightly again but add a tiny dusting of cayenne; put on some more cheese and drizzle with olive oil.
