Ratatouille

I was surprised how good the combination of vegtables was!! We wanted to try it after watching the Disney movie, of course. This recipe is my variation of several I found on the internet based on what we had at home. We served it on mashed potatoes. Originally was going to be a side dish but my teenagers liked it so much we saved the grilled chicken for another night and this was our main dish!
