Zucchini and Acorn Squash recipes

So with my 14" zucchini, I had to use it in a couple of recipes.  The first one was in zucchini, carrot, and onion fritters.  Just grate all the ingredients, add an egg and some garlic, drop a spoonful in a pan with some hot oil and that's it.  Serve it up with some sour cream and/or applesauce.  Delicious.



While I was cooking the fritters, I had used the rest of the zucchini to make some zucchini bread.  Instead of two loaf pans, I just used one bundt cake pan.  It came out a little on the dry side but still pretty tasty with some butter on it.



For some reason, I was really in the cooking mood that night so I also took 3 small acorn squash that grew in my garden and wanted to cook them up some way.  I found online a recipe for squash rings.  Simply cut them cross ways in rings, remove the seeds and center of each ring, baste with some melted butter, season with salt, pepper, and brown sugar.  Bake in oven at 350 for about 25 minutes flipping them over half way through.  Turned out good.  I skin was a little tough so we just ate it off like you would a watermelon.


Get dirty and keep on gardening!
