Let me start out by saying that I absolutely LOVE to cook.  Due to my lifestyle, I never get a chance to cook.  Well, I finally got some time to cook a home cooked meal.  One of the items I decided to make was a squash and zucchini casserole.  I must say that it turned out great!  It seemed to be even better the next day.  If you love squash and zucchini, I suggest you try this casserole :)

Using a draining spoon, place the squash, zucchini, and onions into a buttered 13x9 baking dish.  DO NOT DISCARD THE JUICES!

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the half and half and eggs together.  Add the sour cream and whisk until smooth.  Add the left over juices.  Finally, add the cheese a little at a time.

Pour the cheese mixture over the squash, zucchini, and onions.  Be sure to manipulate the vegetables so that the cheese mixture is evenly distributed.
