Mexican Summer Squash Recipe
4 yellow summer squash
4 ears corn
3 ripe tomatoes
1/4 cup butter
1 small onion, chopped
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Wash squash and cut into small pieces. Cut corn from the cob, skin tomato (the skin comes off easily if they are first dipped in boiling water for one minute) and cut into cubes. Heat butter in saucepan. Stir in onion and cook until limp but not brown. Add squash, corn, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over a low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. if desired, serve over cooked rice. Serves 4.
This is such a light and not overly sweet dessert great for summer or anytime of year.

our family had a favorite recipe that was made by grandma Scott called Raspbery Fluff…anyone have that recipe?
Hi
Been enjoying some neat stuff on your site lately but being Irish and living in New Zealand I’m always amazed at the prepackaged stuff you guys can buy in the US that you absolutely can’t buy elsewhere. Such as frozen lemonade concentrate? Can anyone tell me how to recreate that at home please?
We also can’t get things like canned pumpkin. Angel food cake mix, the huge amount of flavours you get in instant puddings etc etc! And can anyone tell me what half and half is so I can buy the nearest substitute!? Really want to try this stuff out but struggle to in my part of the world – Hope you can help me!
For canned pumpkin you can just roast your own at home and freeze until you need it. When you go to use then thaw and drain off the juice and use in your recipe. For lemonade concentrate, depending on the recipe just lemon juice with a little extra sugar might work.
Yes, it’s crazy them amount of stuff we can get here! It to the point that I don’t even want to go grocery shopping because it’s so overwhelming!
I found this definition of half and half on Google.com. Copy and paste the following into your browser.
