More Uses for Summer Squash

I did not plan this but when I brought my veggies home yesterday I accidently dropped a summer squash on the floor. Tater thought it was a prize and proceeded to munch away at it. Now who knew dogs liked squash? She really savored it and even ate the bits and seeds that were scattered about after she finished. Yet another use for zucchini and summer squash!

I also got a spiralizer and have had a lot of fun making "pasta" and ribbons out of the zucchinis. It really has a nice texture and makes it taste somewhat different. Last night I made heirloom tomato salad and served it over zucchini spirals - it was very good! Toppings can be something like pine nuts for raw vegans or feta for those who eat cheese.

Last week was busy with bone scans, blood work and what have you. Everything happening at once in prep for my surgery. Really, it is all fairly easy except for the traveling, shuttling around and waiting for authorizations from the insurance company. The actual tests, etc. happen quite quickly.

It is still very hot here most days and I find myself hibernating. Richard is ambitious as usual and cleaned the whole outside of the house and deck this weekend. It looks beautiful.
