an avalanche of SQUASH....

I told you and SHOWED you the other day that neighbors share their pretty yellow squashes with anybody.  There are zucchini and squash recipes in my box that collect dust 10 months of the year and then suddenly they are the ONLY recipes I use...and I don't even grow the stuff!

A tasty favorite that I made yesterday is the GF version of those lemon squash muffins pictured up there (recipe click here!) and then, just to clear the inventory before the next batch, I made squash chili.  I think the philosophy with both of these recipes is that the spice and other ingredients are so tasty that you could add rocks (or squash!) and it would still be delicious.

I improvise when I make chili, and I am sure you do too--saute a few minutes some onion, bell pepper, carrot, add a grated or diced summer squash or zucchini, broccoli and spinach, add beans and spices, tomato sauce, salsa, BBQ sauce, simmer a while, done!
