This squash and zucchini burritos recipe is easy to throw together with summer squash. You can tailor it to your tastes and what fresh vegetables you have on hand. It's a great new way to use up summer squash from your garden or farmers' market. For a stronger-flavored dish, add fresh chopped cilantro to the mixture before spooning into tortillas. Serve it with sour cream, avocado, or salsa.

Jumbo Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I received free blueberries recently. I admit I never actually tasted a real one before. Always the boxed muffin kind. I loved them. Recently switched to whole wheat, so I wanted to try a new muffin recipe out. This is the one that not only turned out great, but filling as well. When I was eating it, I was craving eggs. Next time I will have to remember to throw in a fried egg or two on the side. I made 6 jumbo muffins.
Big Game Day Chili
The first time I tried this chili I was floored! It has wonderful flavors, and is very spicy and very addictive. If you don't like heat, adjust the ingredients. It's perfect at a football tailgate party or picnic. If you like a roasted flavor, bake the garlic before pressing it. For the beer, a hoppy pale ale works well, as does a dark stout. I've also experimented with adding a cup of coffee to the mix to give it a roasted coffee flavor. It also freezes well.
Ground Beef Enchiladas
These are beef filled tortilla shells baked in a creamy chicken soup and cheese sauce. My husband absolutely loves these. I served them to guests once with Mexican rice, and they went home with the recipe. Enjoy!
