Patty Pan Squash

So small...so delicate...so delicious...so right as a vegetable side dish for one...so likely to be overlooked in the garden bed...so let’s get to it. In a fry pan, splash some oil, add thinly sliced onion crescents from half a sweet onion, 2 - 3 patty pan squash sliced in half then into wedges. Season with salt/pepper/garlic powder sauteing just long enough for the squash to be barely tender as they will continue to cook even off the heat. These are great served with a slice of pork and a generous green salad. See what you think...

When I’m not thinking about how to keep my hungry family fed and happy, I’m sewing cotton pocket canvas aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads , www.michaels.com/makerplace/storefront/topdrawerthreads .

Or I’m putting the finishing touches on hand knit hats worked by me from upcycled recycled yarn gleaned from local sources for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers in fun, frolicsome prints and colors.

4 ingredients, 4 minutes hands on, 15 in the oven.

If you have a few courgettes on your hands today, please make this. The ratio of incredible flavour and deliciousness to labour is in your favour and it’s possible a child might eat it.

So many of you asked for the recipe after it disappeared from stories (I had forgotten once again to save) that I felt it was definitely feed material.

What a miserable day! It’s been wet and gloomy out since I reluctantly pulled myself out of bed this AM. Then I got yelled at, innocently, for the first time by a patient in a language I could not even comprehend! On a positive note all those doctor-patient communication skills workshops in handling difficult patients that I used to think were a waste of time actually came into some use today! 

The best way to turn this frown of a day upside down was with some comfort food! These spiced roast vegetables are a perfect winter side dish to warm our hearts and so easy to prepare. It’s definitely going on my Christmas dinner menu for this year :) 

Warm Spiced Fennel & Squash 

fennel, squash, olive oil, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius 

Cut the squash and fennel into approx. 1inch wide wedges. Toss in a generous amount of olive oil, about 1tsp of nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric and cumin. Season with salt & pepper. Put vegetables on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Roast in preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden. 

Great complement with roast lamb and pork chops!

Creamed Leeks

Soon enough, the leeks in your garden will size up to these beauties making it time to pick and prepare a delectable leek delight. This makes a great side dish served with roast pork, brown rice with margarine, and cold melon. See what you think...

1 - 2 T. margarine

3 - 4 leeks, cleaned, sliced into thin rounds

1 t. coarse salt

dash pepper

2 T. whole wheat flour

4 c. half and half, room temperature

1 t. parsley, fresh, kitchen scissor chopped to speed the process

In a large fry pan, add margarine and leeks. Begin to saute the leeks, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over all and toss to cover all, turn temp to simmer. Slowly, gently stir in the half and half with the leeks/flour mixture to begin making the creamed part of this dish. Keep stirring as you let the sauce thicken - 5 - 10 min. Serve with the parsley sprinkled on top as garnish.
