sugar rush

Yum

Though one of the main purposes of my blog is to keep a record of recipes I love so I can come back to them repeatedly, there are some I never make again. I also rarely re-post recipes, with some notable exceptions.

Yum

Squash casserole. Fried squash is excellent, but if you want an easier, cheesier way to eat your yellow squash, I recommend a squash casserole!

simply the best

Yum

Roasted cauliflower with parmesan and thyme. Cauliflower stinks up our house just about as badly as Brussels sprouts, but I continue to make it. That must mean I like it a lot.
