Yellow Squash Casserole


Another one I found from Allrecipes.com. This one is from ROSECART. I have more yellow squash than I know what to do with so I've been trying to find recipes and this one is my favorite by far! My husband and picky little boy couldn't get enough of it either! I love the egg and buttery crackers in this.
4 c. sliced squash
1/2 c. chopped onion
35 buttery crackers, crushed
1 c. cheese, shredded
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 c. milk
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. salt
black pepper to taste
2 T. butter
Put squash and onion in large skillet with small amount of water. On medium heat cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and place in a large bowl.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix cracker crumbs and cheese and add half of the mixture to the squash. Mix together eggs and milk and add to squash. Stir in 1/4 c. melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Spread in 9 x 13 inch pan, sprinkle with cracker mixture and dot with butter.
Bake for 25 minutes until lightly browned.

Zucchini Brownies

I found this on Allrecipes.com from Marian. These brownies are fabulous! There isn't a typo in the recipe, it doesn't call for any eggs. That's what makes these brownies fudgy. I haven't tried it but I'm sure you can add an egg and it will be more cakey if you prefer. Because they're fudgy I don't put any frosting on them and they are still fabulous but to each his own.



1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 1/2 c. white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. flour
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 c. shredded zucchini
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Combine flour, 1/2 c. cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into sugar mixture (it will be a course texture). Fold in zucchini and walnuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when lightly touched.

Chocolate Frosting:
6 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c. margarine
2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Melt together cocoa and margarine; set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, blend together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Stir in cocoa mixture. Spread over cooled brownies.

Microwave Custard


3 eggs

2 cups milk

2 T sugar or honey

1 t vanilla

1/4 t salt


Beat eggs until fluffy and then add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Microwave for 2 minutes and stir. Continue to heat in 15-30 second increments, stirring after each, until thick and creamy. It will continue to cook a little in the bowl so I usually take it out before it is too thick. Serve hot or cold. Top with cinnamon, nutmeg, or caramel topping.

It cooks best in thicker ceramic bowls. And remember every microwave cooks a little different so you may need to adjust your time. If it turns grainy it is over cooked. My kids and I love this for breakfast.
