One of the first veggie recipes I remember making as a recent college grad was Nutty Summer Squash with Asiago Cheese. I loved the texture of the nuts with the squash combined with the saltiness of the cheese. And I’ve continued to make versions of this recipe {with a twist} ever since.
Tonight I mixed things up by caramelizing shallots in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding chopped yellow squash and zucchini. When the veggies were tender, I added chopped walnuts, salt, and pepper. And then after a couple minutes of stirring, I served topped with parmesan cheese.
The shallots added a bit of sweetness that paired nicely with the rest of the dish and even better with a hearty peppercorn-crusted steak.

Always looking for inspiration for new sides, and this fills the bill! I think it will make a hearty lunch main dish, too. Thanks!

I love your recipes. But, why is it that there are no ingredients list or directions? or are these recipes meant for us to guess, or design for ourselves?
