Squish Squash

We have been picking our Yellow Squash and Zucchini!




It is the easiest vegetable to grow. They are ready to pick early in the summer season.  Our harvest this year has been plentiful, we pick them everyday now so that they do not grow too big.  Our biggest challenge in growing this summer classic is finding enough ways to cook them.  Needless to say, we have been eating squash and zucchini every night.




RecipeSummer Harvest Pasta Sauce


  1. Saute onions until they are slightly carmelized in a big pan on the stovetop, add garlic and sliced vegetables: zucchini, summer squash, whatever you have from the garden. 
  2. Add canned whole tomatoes and chicken broth and continue to simmer together. 
  3. Add a sprinkling of garden herbs.  Our faves: rosemary, sage, basil, parsely and herbs de provence  (given to us by my aunt from a recent trip to France).   
  4. Add cooked spaghetti and heat until warm
  5. Dinner is served!
