Summer salads! :)

It's not too late for summer salads! I noticed Smith's still had berries on sale last weekend.
So easy and yummy: simply top fresh baby spinach leaves with various fruit (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, halved green or red grapes, blueberries) and feta cheese. Cashews also add nicely to the mix.
Dressing: oil and vinegar or my personal favorite, non-fat Maple Valley Honey Dijon.

Zucchini Season!

YAY! I love squash! Here is my mom's excellent recipe for Zucchini Casserole:

3 medium zucchini

1 ½ lbs. Hamburger

1 lb. Grated cheese

1 onion

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

½ cup milk

Crumbled soda crackers

Peel, dice and boil zucchini. Brown hamburger. Spread squash in 13 x 9 glass casserole dish. Layer meat on top. Sprinkle on grated cheese. Mix milk and soup, then pour on top. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs. Bake at 300 degrees for 40 to 60 minutes.

Some interesting variations: turkey instead of hamburger; add Italian seasoning to meat; top with Macaroni and Cheese; then crumbled club crackers and dried Parmesan cheese; grill zucchini instead of boiling; broccoli and cheddar cheese soup.

Other things to do with zucchini: brush with olive oil or Italian salad dressing, sprinkle with garlic salt, lemon and pepper or Italian seasoning, grill. Serve with:

Sweet BBQ Chicken: marinate chicken breasts in Hawain marinade for half hour. Put on grill for 10 minutes. Turn over. Brush honey bbq sauce on top. Grill 5 more minutes or until done.

Serve with spinach leaves topped with feta cheese and red grapes. YUM!

I haven't tried this out yet but it could be interesting. You list what ingredients you have in your fridge and it tries to find a recipe for you. Hmmm....
