Parmesan Crusted Squash

Blossom Lady

Sep 12, 2020 04:46 AM

This crispy Parmesan yellow squash recipe is possibly the easiest side dish of all time (and it takes just 20 min to cook), and a great way to use up garden veggies! I know, too often squash ends up watery and soft. By cooking the squash on a rack, I release the water and give the squash an almost fluffy texture. The cheese creates a crisp, savory crust that makes this dish irresistible. I have a hard time not eating the entire batch single-handedly. You can also use zucchini for this recipe. Enjoy! Ingr...

Grilled Chicken Blue Cheese Salad with Apples

Blossom Lady

Sep 08, 2020 06:22 AM

This loaded grilled chicken salad is so delicious, has so much flavor and comes together in minutes! An easy low-carb weeknight dinner for the whole family, this salad works great as a party pleaser for gatherings, too! Skinless chicken breasts are often derided as dry and bland. But I love pounding them and then grilling them until juicy. This is perfect as a main dish, but you could easily take the grilled chicken off and serve it as a side. Ingredients 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, po...

Sep 02, 2020 04:13 AM

I am completely obsessed with this nicely spiced gingerbread at the moment, I love ginger overload like this – warm, spicy and sweet – just the perfect slice to have with a good cup of strong coffee, all year round!
