My chard is going crazy, my tomatoes are ugly but prolific and my summer squashes are, well, behaving like summer squashes.
Sometimes, I get tired / bored with stir-frying and grilling and whatever.
Sometimes, there just doesn’t seem to be any choice but to toss it all together and see what happens.
To make it interesting I chose a yellow … Continue reading.....
The freezer is stuffed with tomatoes, soups, jams and vegetables.
My counter-top is filled with more squash and tomatoes.
The chard is growing fast and furiously.
I’ve combined them all in every way I can think of.
Now I’m working on the repeats…..
This was simple – slice and bake.
I used a yellow summer squash, 1 large yellow and … Continue reading.....

Another zucchini recipe.

Yes, we still have zucchini, although I made this with a yellow squash.
Now that the evenings are cooler some of the cooking is moving back to the kitchen.
I make timbales often, and with a lot of different vegetables. They make a lovely presentation for a first course and are simple to make.
The sauce spices up the bland … Continue reading.....
As I said yesterday….
This time of year we alternate between chard and squash, first course and side dish.
This is a first course.
I planted one green, one green striped, one yellow and one white summer squash.
The white squash tend to be very long and skinny, which is what I used here.
They’re usually straight….
