Amazing Zucchini PieI came by this recipe from the Parents Action for Children web site, and as the name suggests, it is indeed “amazing.” Rather like a brunch quiche, this is one delicious way to serve summer’s bounty of zucchini. To simplify prep time, use a commercially prepared crust. Then just add a tossed salad and fruit for dessert! |

Pumpkin AlfredoThis is a pumpkin variation of a traditional Italian dish that could easily go with a Holiday meal. We enjoy this with shrimp since the flavors complement each other well, but I believe it would go very well with turkey or ham too! |
