Saturday morning I was on the farm. I brought my mom and we were weeding the potatoes for three hours. Quality bonding time I suppose. Fortunately it is getting deep into the season. That means that Simmer Rock (farm) has enough veggies to give away to volunteers as a gift of appreciation. I don't do it for the veggies, but they are nice and appreciated. This time I was given some beats and squash (2 shares if you count my mom's portion.) This is a gift in itself. After all, what do you make with a squash and/or beats? I certainly do not know. As I write I am seeing some recipes via Google and will be recording some of the interesting ones that may be worth trying. Tomorrow I will do the same for beats. Update* Before I researched recipes I did not even know zucchini is a type of squash.
Caramelized Butternut Squash- First one I am seeing. It looks...strange. Basically baked squash with cinnamon and brown sugar and whatever other seasonings are in the pantry that make it feel like Christmas.
Squash soup- varied from a regular veggie soup. If it is a vegetable I now just assume there is a soup for it. Still, not a bad backup. Grab some garlic, chicken broth, onion and some olive oil and we'll see how it goes.
Breaded 'n Baked Zucchini Chips- A good portion of my friends have heard of my kale chips I occasionally snack on. This is most likely my first choice. Milk, garlic, cheese, pepper and an egg. Only 30 minute estimate to make and only 15 of those are actual preparation of the meal.
That should do for right now. There are only 2 squash in my fridge so I will see what will happen. As a quick note, I really like how simple almost all the squash recipes were. In fact, I do not remember seeing one that I would really classify as complicated. I am sure there are some, but if squash can be made into a good dish easily then it's that much better in my opinion.
