Oven Roasted Zucchini by Carolinaheartstrings

I love zucchini. I could eat it every day and often do in the summer. Nothing better than a big plate of zucchini for dinner. This recipe is easy and delicious and brings out a slight sweetness to the zucchini.

Roasted Butternut Squash by B Innes

To roast butternut squash you can either roast cut in half, cut side down, in a pan with a little water for about 1-1½ hours and then scoop out of the skin or peel, seed, cube and roast for about 30 minutes on high heat. My version uses a light marinade to oil the cubed squash and add a little sweetness. I keep it simple, but feel…

Cranberry Grits Casserole by Carolinaheartstrings

This slightly sweet casserole would make a great Holiday weekend breakfast side with leftover ham or some freshly cooked bacon! I topped mine with a little butter and real bacon bits but the vegetarians in the family ate it straight up!

Shallot Herb Grilled Corn by Carolinaheartstrings

My immersion blender came with a small bowl and attachment that allows it to work like a food processor. I love it. It is great for small quantities such as this margarine rub for corn. I had a smidgeon of the mixture left over and used it on a grilled cheese sandwich. Yum!

Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon) by Salad Foodie

It's hard to improve on an American classic, but I think this recipe based on Cooking Light Magazine (9/09) does just that. I stayed fairly close to its version and am glad I did.

Crustless Zucchini Pie by Carolinaheartstrings

Potato & peas dry curry by Saru

"This is usually made as a gravy curry, but I like to make it dry too. It tastes as good and goes well with Roti, naan or just plain rice. Not many ingredients go into this dish yet this is full of flavour and very satisfying."

Mashed Potatoes by Candice Goodyear

I don't like instant mashed potatoes at all. I make mine from scratch like many cooks out there. I like them either with butter and sour cream or butter and milk in them both are delicious. But, if you don't have milk or sour cream on hand you can substitute 1/4 cup real mayo, still taste great.
