We do not cook squash enough in our household, but this is a quick and easy way to cook it that we need to do more often, honestly.

Air Fryer Seasoned Okra
I love our air fryer, but we go through moments of not using it. We love cooking okra, but it can stink up the house if we fry it. So I decided to try it in the air fryer. I have made it two ways. You can find one way here. The other way is below and is much easier.
Grilled Corn
So for July 4th, we bought corn to grill along with our smoked ribs and potato. Well we were out of aluminum foil, and I didn’t realize this until right before needing to cook it. So I attempted a new method…grilling the corn in the husks.
Brussel Sprouts
So I am weird and LOVE brussel sprouts. Brad always tells me how much he hates them. Well for Mother's Day him and Melody gave me the new Magnolia Table cookbook. In it was a yummy sounding recipe that Brad agreed to try. I have recently found out I have a pork allergy, so I did use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. I didn't care for the turkey bacon in this dish, so next time I would leave it out. But I am certain regular bacon would be amazing in it. I also adjusted the recipe a lot for what we like. So below is MY version.
Squash Casserole
So I can be a really lazy cook. Like I hate to have to cook something, transfer it to a pan, then cook it again in the stove. I know a lot of times this can't be avoided. Usually when I cook something like this, I make sure all of the other dishes I am having with it are easy. Squash casserole is an example of this. I LOVE squash casserole. But I really hate putting so much effort into a side dish. I also felt like this wasn't a great dish to freeze and reheat. So my recommendation is to make only the amount you think you will eat. I will for sure do that next time. This will also only be a dish I make on the weekends or "good" weeknights, ha! Only due to my pure laziness of course.
Parmesan Asparagus
We love asparagus in our household. Brad isn't a fan of it from a can, so we usually buy fresh asparagus and try to find different ways to cook it. Usually we just simply bake it. But every now and then we like to spruce it up at bit. This isn't anything super fancy or even complicated, but it adds just a touch of something different to a really great vegetable.
Baked Squash
In an effort to find more ways to get vegetables in our diet, I have been trying to figure out new ways to cook them. Melody loves anything crunchy, so I decide to bake some squash "chips". She didn't eat them unfortunately. But Brad and I really liked them! My only recommendation is to cut them more evenly so that they cook more evenly!
Squash Salad
I found this recipe in one of my Family Circle magazines. The only reason I noticed it was because I wanted to try the chicken recipe attached to it. Then I noticed the chicken recipe also included a squash salad recipe. Check it out below.
