Recipe: Garlic Parmesan Yellow Squash with Sausage
A few summers ago, we were given a big bag of yellow squash from someone's garden. Although it's an ingredient I've used occasionally, I didn't know a ton of recipes for it, and I wasn't sure exactly what to do with it.

When trying to start my kids out with cooking, I wanted a recipe with simple ingredients that they could measure and mix up themselves.

This is the perfect meal to make if you have a lot of extra bread, or you need to stretch a few eggs and a bit of milk to feed the whole family. It's a way to practice using … [Read more...]
