I love summer and all the fresh foods that it brings: tomatoes, zucchini, ocra, corn, herbs, and SQUASH! Lots and lots and lots of squash.
I love to cook-it-down in bacon grease in an iron skillet or slice it, toss in corn meal and fried it along side onion rings in hot grease. I’m drooling as I type!
However, sometimes there is just SO MUCH SQUASH with only a limited number of ways that my family will not only EAT but ENJOY!
A few years ago I found a great recipe that my whole family loves and, admittedly have tweaked it a little. It is easy and, strangely enough for our clan, HEALTHY–of course, anything is healthier than all my bacon grease and canola oil…
Go ahead, print this one out now. I tried to make it the right size to fold and put in your recipe box but who knows what the In-ternets will do to it!
I also love growing and cooking with herbs. So, I was able to jump off my porch and harvest (fancy word for pinch off) some basil and thyme. And yes, I washed it first.
Most of the other ingredients came from the local grocery store, but our squash, zucchini and tomato plants are growing as fast as they can so it won’t be long before I have fresh ingredients for my kitchen.
I also took the above photo of the veggies on a cutting board that my son made with his own two hands. So proud!
Oh, well. That’s it! Please let me know if you make this recipe–or even if you print it out. Heck, let me know if you even read this. What joy it would bring to my beatin’ heart!
Hugs! Summertime, summertime, I do so love summertime!
