Summer Squash
Hubby and I have decided to get back into shape. We’re starting to hit the gym again and upping the number of fruits and veggies in our diets. I’m also going to be trying to bake less. This makes me sad, but I’ll definitely keep baking, just not 3 times a week like I have been.
Vindicate the Vegetable is a new blogging event is a perfect way for us to bump up our veggie intake and to try out some new vegetables. Hubby and I like most veggies, so it’ll be great to learn new recipes as well. This week, the vegetable is yellow summer squash – one of our favorites!
I love cooking the squash this way. It’s so simple and delicious.
Foil veggie pack – serves 4 – by ME!
2 yellow summer squash
2 zucchini
~3 Tbsp Italian dressing
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large piece of foil in a square pan or Pyrex dish.
Cut vegetables into cubes. Toss with dressing. Place veggies in foil packet and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil up to enclose the veggies in a packet.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
The foil packet can be used with a variety of cooking methods. The foil pack can also be cooked on a grill.

Is there any way to make this without an ice cream maker? I love the idea of this chocolate sorbet and was totally on board until the last part. Now I’m very curious and might have to do some googling after my daughter goes to bed.

I just started making ice cream after getting the ice cream attachment for my mixer. So I don’t personally have any experience making ice cream without an ice cream maker. I’m sure it’s been done. If you do make this without an ice cream maker, let me know how it turns out!
Great idea! Love chocolate ice cream and I love you don’t need cream or eggs! Going to try this recipe!

Let me know what you think of it. We really enjoyed it!
I added 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp vanilla. It was delicious.

So glad you enjoyed it! I love adding salt to desserts. I will definitely have to do the same next time I make this.
