This recipe turned out way more tasty than I expected. The only disappointing thing was that it turned out a bit soupy – easy enough to drain but I’m thinking even including the egg that I didn’t have wouldn’t have set it up the way I would have liked. I will experiment with thickener next time. Even DH liked it – but, of course, he said “this would be better with chicken.” LOL. So if you, too, have eggplants coming {Read More}
Campfire Salmon
Adapted from Simply in Season. First, a word about fish. For this recipe, I used farmed salmon fillets that I bought at Sam’s Club. That was before I started hearing about how bad farmed fish is for the environment. You’ve heard of CAFO, I’m sure, where cows are smooshed into pens and walk around in their own feces.

Super Stuffed Tortillas
If you are looking for a way to sneak in leftover veggies, this is your recipe! Very tasty. Adapted from Simply in Season, this isn’t a difficult recipe but adds some veggies that at least I wouldn’t have thought to put in there. Start out by sauteeing 2 cloves of garlic, an onion, and a green pepper (all chopped of course) until softened. Then add 2 C of corn, 1 small/med zucchini (sliced), and 1 1/2 T cumin. I had {Read More}
Zucchini Bake
Adapted from Summer Squash Bake, Simply in Season, p. 136 This dish should have been a snap to throw together. Ingredients: 6-7 cups shredded zucchini, 1 small minced onion (I substituted 1 bunch green onions) 1 can condensed cream soup, 1 cup yogurt, 1 cup shredded carrot (mix together in a bowl) 2 t oregano, 1 C cooked chicken (optional), 1 C cheese (mix in another bowl, then add all the other stuff) 2 C herbed croutons (toast cut up {Read More}
