A QUOTE

I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. – Helen Keller

HOW DO YOU USE UP HOMEGROWN SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI?

I planted a ton of squash and zucchini this year with the plan to eat it fresh, but also to preserve it for later.  What are your favorite recipes at your house?  Here are a few I’ve recently found and hope to try this summer:

+ Rigatoni with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Zucchini
+ Sweet and Sour Zucchini Pickles
+ 20 Minute Skillet Sausage and Zucchini
+ Zucchini Gratin with Yellow Squash

      Great idea about ratatouille! I’ve never made it before so I’ll have to search for a good recipe, thanks!
