We have squash!

Our squash plant has taken over the garden. Have you seen the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show? My squash plant is that HUGE! Neal has been bringing in 2 to 3 squash a day. If you live near me you will be receiving your squash soon...lol!

Tonight Neal sliced one, dipped the slices in an egg/milk mixture, rolled them in flour, and fried them. They were so good. I wish I had taken a picture of them on the plate but we ate them all before I could even think about it. YUMMY!!

I know I had planned on blogging about food but I just haven't been in a cooking mood lately. During the winter I tend to bake a lot more so get ready for that! It's almost time for Brenda's Famous Pumpkin Sheetcake with cream cheese frosting. The recipe will follow soon!

Squash patties

We finally got to grill last night! It stopped raining for a few hours so Neal grilled some steaks for dinner. Last weekend when I was at my parents, I bought a big bag of small yellow squash. I really needed to use them so I looked for a recipe. Someone on one of my food boards recommended squash patties. They are a lot like potato pancakes but with a squash taste. Neal and I both loved them. So with our steaks we had squash patties and Ranch Style Beans.




YELLOW SQUASH PATTIES

2 cups grated yellow squash
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1/3 cup self-rising cornmeal
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together. Spoon out into hot greased frying pan. Brown both sides. Drain on paper towel.

I have some more to use up and found a recipe for yellow squash muffins that I might try later today. If I don't, I'll just slice them and freeze them for another day.
