It is a fabulous sunny day and after a few errands I think we will settle into a lazy Saturday afternoon here. For supper we are having fresh green beans and new red potatoes from the garden, summer squash and maybe some zucchini (the first from my garden may be ready today), and a fantastic, thick juicy steak.
The green beans are easy, just dump them in a pan of water, add a chicken cube and some onion and cook till done. If you want to go old school, replace the chicken cube with a slice of bacon, or a spoonful of bacon grease. About 1/2 hour before you are ready to eat, add the potatoes to the beans and cook together.
Quarter, then slice the squash and zucchini, boil in a little water with a little onion *and green pepper till soft, drain. Mix in 1 egg, 1/2 cup mayonnaise and a cup of shredded cheese. Pour into a casserole dish and top with bread or cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. My kids will eat two or three helping of this squash casserole.
For the steaks, mix up a tbsp Italian seasoning (you know I use it on everything), 1 tsp red pepper, crushed or ground, 1 tsp black pepper and a dash (or two) of garlic powder. sprinkle on both sides of the steaks before grilling. I like mine with a sprinkle of blue cheese.
I might even make some ice cream, if the kids are willing to help . . .
Have a great Saturday, everyone.
*When I say onion, I usually just use a slice, chopped up. We like the flavor here, but don't want everything full of onions.
