Yes, we’re still eating summer squash. We are down to the last couple of summer squashes. These toast pizzas were good, and fast. Spaghetti sauce from a can with spinach, tomatoes, squash, banana peppers, jalapenos and cheese on top. The bread we used was fairly dense, and helped keep the sauce on top. I don’t [...]

I love brown rice, it’s got this nutty flavor and more texture than white rice. It could almost be a meal by itself. In this meal though, we piled chicken and vegetables on top, beans and pickles on the side. Brown Rice with Chicken and Squash Cook the brown rice per the directions on the [...]

Our Fridley garden has continued to pump out summer squash and zucchini and we have been using them as often as we can. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Using summer squash instead of noodles is an easy and yummy substitution when making homemade macaroni and cheese. I’m not a fan of Easy Mac, but [...]

Squash time again! The garden has been producing beans and peas like crazy. We have been able to keep up so far, but posting here has lagged with the work I’ve been doing. This post comes courtesy of a Denver to Salt Lake City flight. I’m headed out to Utah to meet my new boss, [...]

Squash time has arrived, which leads to the question “What can I make with squash!” Two years ago we had a bumper crop of summer squash and nearly overdosed on the stuff. This year I intend to record each recipe that we make using summer squash (including zucchini) so future me can more easily decide [...]
