In this post I’m sharing how to make Baked Parmesan Squash and Zucchini.
Y’all, I am so excited to share this amazing recipe for your fresh summer squash. I used a mix of yellow squash and zucchini…but you could go with just one or the other if you prefer to.
The squash that I used in this recipe was freshly picked from the garden and gifted to us. We have been fortunate to take a much needed break over the past week. Some of that time we spent with family.
Husband’s sister, father, and step mother were all visiting and we got to spend a few days with them. His dad brought us our first ever chickens for our new coop. I’m beyond excited about our backyard chickens and all of the fresh eggs we’ll be getting.
They also were so kind to bring us some of the first vegetables they’ve harvested from their garden. I love using the freshest ingredients of the season whenever possible. You can’t beat fresh off the vine veggies!
