Roasted Summer Squash and Tomatoes

10 Replies

Roasted Summer Squash and Tomatoes @ NancyCSome friends have shared summer squash from their gardens with me and I love roasted veggies, so I decided to roast some squash last weekend. Roasted Summer Squash and Tomatoes makes a great summer side dish or even a light meal. You can also serve it over pasta for a more filling lunch or dinner. Add some chopped chicken or turkey to it too, if you like. I really like it just the way it is…the tasty, tender roasted veggies flavored with some herbs and seasonings, garlic and onion, and the wonderful taste of Parmesan cheese! Continue reading →

Tennessee Cornbread Salad

This Tennessee Cornbread Salad is a favorite recipe of mine! I had heard of cornbread salad but never tried making it. When I discovered a recipe at Krusteaz called Tennessee Cornbread Salad, it looked really good, so I decided to try it out. You don’t have to use a cornbread mix in this recipe–you can use your favorite homemade cornbread instead! I made a few changes to the salad recipe, using a little more crumbled cornbread, adding 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and substituting turkey bacon for regular bacon. I thought this salad was so good! It really surpassed my expectations. Continue reading →

Mango-Jalapeno Salsa

Mango Jalapeno Salsa @ NancyCAre you staying cool during the hot weather we’ve been having? This is the time of year when I probably eat the most fruit. I love all kinds of fruit and that’s what I like about this Mango-Jalapeno Salsa–there’s a nice variety of fruit—mango, pineapple, and apple—–mixed in with some diced tomato and red bell pepper. It’s a little on the spicy side, so use half the amount of jalapeno and ginger if you want a milder salsa. Overall, I think this is a great, healthy mix of naturally sweet and savory flavors!

Sweet Pickle Deviled Eggs

Sweet Pickle Deviled Eggs @ NancyCI’ve made deviled eggs several different ways, but hadn’t ever made them with sweet pickle relish. I know lots of people make deviled eggs that way, so I decided to give it a try. I found that the pickle relish gives these eggs a good flavor and the pickle taste is mild, so you don’t need to worry about it being too overpowering. The first time I made these was for a baby shower and everyone really liked them! Continue reading →
