STUFFED SUMMER SQUASH
This time of year the markets are filled with an array of fresh vegetables. I love to browse through the bins to decide which ones alert my taste buds. We particular love the big, yellow squash with it's bright color and curved shape. Perfect for stuffing! They make a delectable side dish served with grilled fish or chicken. I hope you enjoy this recipe as it is colorful as well as full of flavor.
