Energy and tourism with the Bass Tournament. Banquet & Healthy Choice products. Not as much as there use to be. I believe Sugar Creek used to make the best yogurt ever. I don’t know if they still do. PDQ used to get tired of seeing me everyday when they carried it. It was to die for.

Alpha Countertops
Quartz and granite are both more durable than marble. Quartz doesn’t have to be sealed but isn’t as heat resistant as granite. In our opinion, Quartz and granite are fairly equal you just have different good/bad.
Granite

The Best Recipes For Summer Squash
Summertime is the time for abundance in the gardens, especially for yellow and zucchini squash. In this post, I’ll share a ton of great recipes for using up your bountiful harvest.
Oh, and I think I’ll include a little about how you can preserve it and enjoy a little be of summer freshness all year long!
The method I use is super helpful to our family so I hope it helps you too. You can find that listed as the last post in this line-up.

What is Summer Squash?
When you think of summer squash, I bet it is pretty safe to say that there are two main types that pop into your head: zucchini and yellow squash.
While these two varieties are very easy to find in the supermarkets, and super easy to grow, they are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the variety of summer squash that’s out there.
But since they are the two that everyone is the most familiar with I’ll be sticking to those two types for this post. Below you’ll find some extremely delicious recipes from appetizers to desserts using up these two types of summer squash, and maybe a bonus recipe using another type

- Zucchini Bread: This classic Zucchini Bread Recipe is a great wait to highlight the squash from your summer garden. This quick bread loaf has just the right amount of sweetness and the zucchini not only gives it wonderful flavor but also keeps the breast tender and moist.
- Want to enjoy fresh zucchini bread all the way through winter? Try shredding fresh zucchini and freezing it in 2-cup portions. These little portions keep for up to a year in the freezer so you’ll have quick access to it when you are craving this quick dessert bread.

2. Low-Carb Beef Veggie Skillet Meal:
This Beef & Veggie Skillet is a delicious and healthy alternative to those boxed meal “helpers” and it is a great way to feed your family lots of great veggies and zucchini squash. The zucchini adds good nutrition and flavor to this easy meal idea.
If you are not needing to keep this meal lower in carbs, you can simply swap out the noodles recommended in this recipe with regular pasta of your choice, like spaghetti noodles or even some cute bowtie pasta. Just cook the pasta as you are cooking up the meat and veggies and add them together before serving.

3. Roasted Chicken and Veggie Sheet Pan Meal:
This sheet pan dinner of Roasted Chicken Thighs and Summer Veggies comes together in about an hour and features some perfectly juicy chicken with crispy skin baked over the top of tender fresh veggies including yellow summer squash. Feed your family fast without giving up flavor or standing in the kitchen all evening!
To get even more squash in you can add in zucchini or just double up on the amount of yellow squash you add to the pan. The squash will cook down quite a bit so more is never a bad thing in my opinion!

4. Southern Squash Casserole, by A Seasoned Mom:
A classic Southern squash casserole recipe is the perfect way to enjoy the bounty of your summer garden! The cheesy filling is topped with a buttery crumb topping for the ultimate family-friendly side dish.
This easy side dish features fresh yellow squash and it pairs well with any type of protein including grilled or baked chicken, ham, and more. It’s tasty and sure to please on top of being a great way to use up that plentiful yellow squash!

These zucchini fritters are unbelievably easy to make and a fun way to sneak veggies into your diet. Fried until golden brown, they are best served with a generous dollop of sour cream and fresh herbs.
Here’s what Blog Momsdish says about her amazing fritters: Zucchini fritters are a fun spin on latkes. The texture is addicting and the recipe only requires 5 simple ingredients to make. What’s not to love about a crispy, savory pancake?

6. Low Carb Chicken and Squash Dressing:
This recipe is a bonus ohttps://www.mytableofthree.com/chicken-squash-dressing/ne that features Spaghetti Squash. Another great squash that is grown all summer. This squash is a little different than the yellow or zucchini squash but it is extremely delish and so versatile.
This squash side dish is tasty and is great for those who are looking to have more choices for their low-carb lifestyles.
It is creamy, rich, and of course squash heavy! You could swap this out for yellow squash as well, you may just have to adjust it a little because the yellow squash will have a little more moisture content compared to the spaghetti squash.
