Easy fresh corn and squash dish

I always have a garden.  I have had one now for 17 years and I love it!  (at first anyway)  Yet, I must confess toward the end of summer, after I have made every squash and zucchini dish known to man,  if I am out spraying weeds I MIGHT (or MIGHT NOT) accidentally hit the squash and zucchini plants with roundup.   I mean when your neighbors won't even answer their doors for fear it is you with more zucchini it's time to give it up! But after all of these years, I found a dish I love.  When it is easy, fresh, healthy, gluten free and uses some of your garden how can you go wrong?

Here is what you will need:  4 ears of corn, 2 zucchini, 1/4 cup red and green bell pepper, salt and pepper to taste.  Garlic and jalapeno if desired.

Take 4 ears of corn and shuck those little things!  It's so fun to do and relaxing right?  (sarcasm)

Cut the corn off of the cob and place it in a skillet with your other vegetables

I used red and green bell peppers from my garden, about 1/4 cup each finely chopped.  I also added seeded jalapenos from my garden but you don't have to do that.  Finally I put in big chunks of my zucchini, about 2.  Then add 1/4 cup of water and cover until zucchini is soft.  It is a beautiful dish and goes well with any meat grilled or otherwise.

  

Gluten Free baked Zucchini Sticks

These little sticks are great for an appetizer served with Ranch Dressing, or a side dish to a big meal.  Either way they are good for you, quick and easy!

Here's what you need:  2 zucchini, salt pepper to taste, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of milk or soy, 3 Tablespoons of parmesan, 2 cups gluten free bread crumbs, and 1 cup gluten free flour or baking mix.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees

So wash and cut the ends off of your zucchini.  Then cut it in half, then in half again.  Then I just continue to cut longways in the middle until I get the size sticks I want to coat. 







Take the sticks of zuchinni and place in a bowl of 1 beaten egg and milk. 








 On a plate combine your remaining ingredients and mix well.  Take each stick coating it in the dry mixture and place on a non stick baking pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve alone or with ranch dressing.
