Living in the countryside where most people garden, I am often faced with the common question of what to do with too many summer squash. I made this recipe with yellow crooknecks, but it ought to work with any firm squash, like zucchini or patty-pan. It is almost soufflé like, fluffy and creamy and cheesy all at once.
Here on the East Coast of Canada, and especially in the “potato belt” where I live, this Thanksgiving side dish is featured in a lot of households. It’s one of those recipes that I’ve never measured – I just eyeball it to feed whoever is showing up, plus extra for surprise drop-ins and leftovers.
Note: you’ll want to prepare this when your turkey is just about or completely done cooking so you can scoop the pan juices.
A beautiful autumn-hued salad, but perfect any time of year. The sweet squash and carrot mingle in a Vietnamese-style dressing, with a little kick from jalapeño.
Sweet and spicy, this sauce brings out the best of any cut of meat.
This recipe came about because I had a large zucchini from my garden and I didn’t want it to go to waste. I love fried breaded zucchini, one of my favorites. I had left over ricotta cheese from a competition 2 days before and I didn’t want to waste it, so…. you guessed it.. my recipe was born! I fried up the zucchini and make a spicy dipping sauce with the ricotta, olive oil and Italian spices. It was gone in no time, so I guess this experiment was a big success. Not all recipes turn out that way, so I was happy to hit a home run with this one!
Created for oyster lovers. Traditional casserole twisted with Japanese and California flavor, easy preparation and tasty dish.
This slaw is a healthy departure from regular mayo-based slaws. The combination of hummus and yogurt makes a light, yet satisfying dressing. This slaw makes a great side or sandwich topping.
This dish was created when I had unexpected guests and wanted to prepare a quick dinner side dish with items that I had around the house. It is a refreshing, tangy slaw, perfect for a summer barbeque, a light lunch, or a dinner side dish that pairs well with pork, chicken, beef, fish or shellfish.
Spicy bake beans that are a family favorite for any Barbecue.
