Easy and Healthy Ratatouille Recipe
This is one of my family’s favorite dinners – even my preschoolers love it. Want to know the best part? This recipe is FULL of colorful vegetables. Your kids will be eating zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and more and not even realize it. Seriously. Please try this Ratatouille Recipe. You will NOT be disappointed.
It’s so easy to make that I even made it the last time we went camping. That’s where I snatched these pictures. The vegetables are chopped a little large – but it was still good! It was so easy to make in my Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven. Don’t tell me that I’m the only one addicted to some good cast iron and camping food!
Quick Note: One of the ingredients is Basil Essential Oil. Not all essential oils are created equally. I would never run to the store and grab whatever bottle of basil oil I could find – chances are, it’s not the real thing and it’s not safe. I only recommend CPTG essential oils from doTERRA. They have the highest standard of purity and responsible sourcing on the market.
