The zucchini in the garden is still plentiful so I got excited when I saw this recipe…another way to put it to good use! After all there’s been steamed zucchini, grilled zucchini, zucchini fritters, Mexican-style zucchini, zucchini bread. The list does go on, but, I can see how this is getting repetitive…so I’ll stop now.
I grew up in a steak and potatoes kind of house, rarely were beans in the equation. I’m not sure why, they’re cheap, can feed the masses and they’re healthy, but we didn’t have them. Maybe too many bean jokes would have bounced around the dinner table?
Grandma Joyce was a practical lady. She enjoyed cooking, but, I think she enjoyed simple and quick meals the most. This makes a lot of her recipes great for most everyday cooks as they don’t have time to sit back and watch their dough rise, let alone watch their water boil. What I love about her recipes is that they include mostly fresh ingredients but they rarely include a long list. These are perfect simple, weeknight meals. If you make them a few times you might even stop relying on the recipe. Being able to wing it is so liberating!
I come from a long line of Bills. We’ve got Bills, Billys and Wills. Both Grandma Joyce’s and Great-Grandma Mary’s husbands are part of this list. So the question I’ve got, which Bill is the Bill?
This world is full of grandmas. Obviously my challenge here is to focus on my family’s recipes but I’m going to default to a different grandma’s recipe collection in this case.
