Country Fried Squash
This fried squash recipe was my grandmother's and it actually won a Blue Ribbon at the Tennessee State Fair! Be sure to use fresh squash, I use butternut but other squash like yellow squash or zucchini would also be good.
Sweet and Sour Lychee Pork
This is my favorite meat recipe! The lychees give it a really unique flavor. Enjoy!
Mediterranean Lamb Burgers
These lamb and beef burgers are juicy and full of flavor. Even people who don't really like lamb have enjoyed these burgers. You can double the recipe and freeze half of the patties in wax paper to eat at a later time. Fine to place on the grill frozen (just add to the cooking time).
