Summer Squash and Swiss Chard

Sautéed Summer Squash on a Bed of Swiss Chard

We have an abundance of Yellow crookneck squash in our ThreeSister Garden and because this type of squash is meant to be eaten while still immature we are experimenting with it in many of our favourite recipes.

In searching the web I came across this great publication with some interesting recipes I hope you enjoy it.

There is an added benefit of gardening with children they will try new food if they helped grow it.
