Parmesan Squash Bake


  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium butternut/summer squash
  • 1 medium sweet yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2-1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • salt to taste
In a small pan, heat about 1 T. of olive oil. Fry the diced onion until soft, about 7 minute.  Add the garlic and fry for another minute or so.  Pour the onion mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Slice the zucchini and squash in to thin slices.  Layer them into 4 rows standing up across the dish over the onions. Slowly pour the olive oil over the pieces until they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes uncovered. Pour the Parmesan over the top of the dish. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the veggies are soft and slightly golden brown.

Bacon Pancakes

My husband is an avid bacon lover to say the least. I got this idea from Pinterest a few weeks ago, ran it by him; he decided it was a must try. So we did.
  • Bacon
  • Pancake batter
Begin by cooking one side of the bacon. Once the one side is browned, turn it over. Pour pancake batter over the top of the bacon. Continue cooking until both the bacon and pancake are fully cooked. Tastes great with your favorite syrup. It's as simple as that!
I might add, bacon pancakes don't make for the most beautiful pancakes you will ever see, but they are surprisingly pretty good.
If you are a bacon lover or live with a bacon lover, give this a try. You will be loved.
