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.

My Chili
This chili recipe is the easiest around. It is delicious and sure to please everyone. Using home-canned tomatoes gives the best flavor but is not necessary. Enjoy.
Italian Escarole Pizza
A true Italian recipe that everyone will enjoy. You can use ready made pizza bread to make this quick...or use your own recipe for a hand tossed pizza, either way, you're sure to enjoy! The escarole does not need to be cooked ahead of time...it cooks right on the pizza. Also, I think with this pizza, the less sauce the better.
Melanzane alla Parmigiana (Eggplant Parmesan)
Melanzane alla parmigiana is a classic Italian dish from Sicily that's often simply referred to as "parmigiana" by Sicilian locals. The richness and depth of flavor you get from this authentic version is well worth the extra effort. Serve eggplant Parmesan with nothing more than crusty bread and a green salad.
