4. That sounds awesome.
I'm a sucker for summer squash, or any kind of potato dish, fried, mashed, scalloped, doesn't matter. :)

5. I've been using summer squash and zuccini to cut our carbohydrates
Hubby likes having rice as a side dish and even though I have turned him on to a wide variety of brown rices, it is still a carbohydrate rich food.

I found a recipe on Allrecipes.com that involves chopping onion finely, sautee with a little oil, maybe some garlic. Fine dice yellow squash and zuccini, sautee that a little. Stir in the rice, then add water or stock, cook until the rice is done.

The amounts are flexible - to one cup of raw brown rice, I usually use one small onion, one or two cloves of garlic, one each of medium zuccini and yellow squash, and two cups of water or stock. Last time I made it, I also diced a carrot and sauteed it longer so it would be soft to match the cooked rice and squashes.

Aside from adding more veggies to the meal, I find that the texture and flavor of the squash means I don't add butter to the rice like I am prone to do. And it makes a very pretty presentation with all the colors.

8. That sounds good. I take it it is a salad not a stir fry.

9. No, it is a stir fry.
I don't cook with butter, after my heart attack last year, my diet is largely vegan now, and I'm loving it. I've been working on expanding my veggie entree dishes repertoire.

I also did grilled veggies last week, veg kabobs with many different things including zucchini and of course, roast corn on the cob.

10. Pretty much whatever is ripe from the garden in a stir fry with our own fresh herbs.
Right now, the main feature is patty pan squash.
