Breakfast this morning (left) Dinner last night!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Breakfast
Fried egg and Daiya vegan cheese sanwhich on wheat bread (pan toasted w olive oil)
2 clemintines
Leftover Hardy's biscuit
Dinner
1 Impossble Sausage (vegan), pieced up and pan-fried in olive oil
1 cup of white rice
3 yellow squash, sliced and steamed (seasoned with pepper, Lawry's season salt, and olive oil).
I almost made myself two sandwhiches this morning, one with egg, and one without. But i figured that would be too much for breakfast since I wasnt terribly hungy and planned to nap afterward (I didnt rip). But the biscuit that i got on a visit to my grandma's over the weekend definitely gave my breakfast more volume that made me feel fuller. That couples with plently of water to drink. The clemintimes added a nice sweet element to my breakfast and also some fruit portion that was enough for that time of day.
As for dinner last night, swell as usual with those ingredients! Cant go too wrong with yellow squash (though it is easy to over or under salt them lol. Didnt this time tho), and white rice truly goes with everything.
I made the Impossible brat last over a week! They only come 4 a pack, which is a bit pricey for how much they are (when not on sale, theyre almost $10). But tbh, its one of those things that you pay for to get the quality AND healthier, more sustainable alternative out of. Its def a treat and I figured I can make it last by piecing it apart as well as spacing out days when I plan to cook it (for instance, I decide one day I'll eat vegan, but trhe other I'll be only pescatarian and the next vegetarian). At that price I can still feel like its worth it, and the oast few times I went to the store they were on sale. So I'm def keeping lookout for those opportunities bc I love this stuff! Great umami taste and crispy sausage texture (its cute how it starts out red to resemble raw meat, but for me thats not necessary. A substitute doesnt have to evoke its original in any way except mainly flavor. I digress lol).
I enjoy cooking a lot now and will soon experiment with meal prep for days in advance, preferably up to 2 (then eventually the whole week, or at least a week of options, frozen to have ready for later). If anyone has some good meal prep regiment ideas (esp for neurodivergent folks), id appreciate u dropping them off in this post!

Hello and Good morning, its Time for a reply blog :)
@boondogs I absolutly will share when I find a good way to get rid of the squash Beetles. I've had issues with the beetles every year I've planted zuchinni, grey squash or yellow squash (even for a Few different pumpkin varieties) Honestly i totally spaced on trap crops for this pest issue! I've heard of them and used a few times but mostly for aphids.
If you wouldn't mind sharing, is it hubbard squash your using for your trap crop?
I looked up some other trap crops too, nasturtium, catnip, garlic, onions, radishes, marigolds, calendula, and tansy are a few mentioned. I've used marigolds on school crops before for other pests [potato beetles mainly] and they were both beneficial for removing pests and good food for pollinator species (plus they are edible, can be used for tea and in soap-making) in addition to being just pretty plants.
Last time I wanted to try neem oil, ive heard it works to smother the eggs and bugs? But wasn't able to find any when i needed it. I do have some spray neem oil now so I'll be testing that out when they show up again.
A recent one I saw, works on the eggs mostly. Take a lighter, the super mini torch type works best. Flick it on and burn the eggs. I've done this twice with other eggs that look like pest eggs. A little burn is better than a total infestation.
Another tip from a gardener friend, is to go out in the morning while it's still pretty cool, maybe even dark out with a bucket of soapy water. Flick every adult/younger life cycle into the soapy water, if possible cap and shake so they can't escape. It works, if you get all of them bit is very time consuming and physically tiring with large amounts of plant. For this method, try to cardboard placed out the night before and turn over in the morning, will help a lil bit.
Unfortunately since where im at doesn't really get freezing temperatures (very rarely frosts even) the leftover nymphs/adults that are leftover don't die. Squash bugs overwinter as adults under plant debris (this is why solarizing and keeping the garden clean is important, I'd like to leave the leftovers for soils amendment but cant.) Soil clods,rocks, log piles and buildings are all potential hibernation spots.
I've been avoiding squash plants for awhile because of this. Which sucks cause most squash-plants can provide a lot of food for fairly minimal input. As soon as I've got dirt for the new bed tho I'll likely be planting a few zuchinni.

40. Baking therapy on a budget Ft. Genshin Characters: Childe- Yellow Squash Bread
Tumblr media
Hello, every birdy. Today we are going to be making a recipe that changed with every bite that we took. And at first, I thought about not sharing it with you all, but then I remember this character and thought it was a perfect match. Because this character changes as well. 
Tumblr media
Childe or Tartaglia (Tar-tag-lia) is a Character of Snezhnaya, which is a country that is full of bad guys. The player first meets Childe in Liyue and we think he is going to be a good person, but that isn’t how the story goes. I don’t want to spoil anything for those of you who haven’t played the game and want to. 
Tumblr media
The recipe that we are going to be doing is a twist on the Betty Crocker Zucchini Bread recipe. What I mean by a twist is that we are going to be following the recipe except for the zucchini part. We are going to be using yellow squash.
Tumblr media
Both the link to the recipe and the measurements will be down below. 
Tumblr media
The ingredients that you will need are:
3 cups yellow squash 
Sugar
Vegetable oil
Eggs
Flour
Baking soda
Salt
Ground cinnamon 
Cloves
Baking powder
Optional chopped nuts
Optional raisins
Tumblr media
Preheat your oven to 350F and grease the bottoms only of 2 8x4 inch loaf pans or 1 9x5 inch loaf pan with either shortening or cooking spray. 
Tumblr media
Before we get into the recipe I want to express why this specific recipe is so special to me. My mom made it for us kids as an after-school snack. So this smell would be the first thing our nose hit when we walked in. And it just smelled so welcoming. The combination of the zucchini and the cloves is just amazing. And also, a zucchini bread that doesn’t have cloves in it is not real zucchini bread. 
Tumblr media
Now we are going to be making the bread. 
Tumblr media
You will want to get a large bowl and stir together your yellow squash sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs until everything is well mixed. 
Tumblr media
Stir in the remaining ingredients, which include: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and baking powder. Once all that is combined you are going to stir together your nuts and raisins. I have made this recipe without either of the two and it still tastes fabulous. 
Tumblr media
Bake the 8-inch loaf pans for 50 to 60 minutes. Or 1 hour and 20 minutes if you are using a 9-inch loaf pan. Or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Another tip you should remember when baking any type of bread, is if you are making more than one loaf, try and get the pans to be the same type. A glass and an aluminum pan are going to cook at two different times. 
Tumblr media
Cool the pans on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes. 
Tumblr media
Loosen the sides of the loaves from the pans. Remove the bread from the pan and place it on the cooling rack with the top side on top.
Tumblr media
 
If you want to have an easier job for yourself, you are going to want to cool it completely before cutting it. This task about 2 hours. If you want to bake this for breakfast one morning, I suggest that you make it the day before. 
Tumblr media
This was the first time that my mom and I, made this recipe with Yellow squash. Normally, yellow squash and zucchini are interchangeable. However, this one just didn’t work very well.
Tumblr media
There were bites that were really good and then there were bites of the bread that tasted off. And at first, I was like, “I don’t want to share this recipe, because I have no idea who would be inspired by it.” And then right before I went to sleep I heard a lightbulb go off “this recipe would be Childe. For reasons.”
Tumblr media
I hope that you liked this recipe. Feel free to check out the recipe in the description down below. Thank you. See you in the next recipe.

It's finally happened, folks! After two Summers of getting nothing from the vegetable garden due to animals, drought, extreme heat, mildew, and bacterial diseases... we're finally getting veggies again! We've been trapping and relocating animals, and we set up fences that seem to be working. The weather has been much better this growing season, and we're getting a handle on the plant pathogens we know we have lingering in our soil. All our efforts have paid off, and Bobo couldn't be happier. This is the very first yellow squash of the season! Bobo helped plant these plants, and to see them finally producing squash is so rewarding. There are a couple more squash and some zucchini that will likely be ready for picking in the next few days, too! =)

Summer Squash Mac n Cheese
Ingredients
1-2 yellow/summer squash (finely chopped or grated)*
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter
a heaping spoonful of flour
about 1/2 cup of milk*
salt
black pepper
paprika
red pepper
nutmeg (just a dash)
herbs de provence (oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil)
about 1 cup of shredded cheese of choice
optional (it can give a weird texture): up to 1/4 cup soft cheese*
about 4 servings of pasta (if cooking ahead of time, lightly toss in oil to prevent sticking)
Recipe
melt butter in large pot over medium heat until melted and bubbling lightly
toss in yellow squash, cooking for a minute before adding in onion and garlic. cook until veggies have softened, a few minutes.
when liquid in pot has slightly reduced, add in spoonful of flour (enough to coat veggies). cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Veggies will become a bit of a mush.
at this point, add in milk and continue stirring until somewhat thickened. add in seasonings and cheeses, adjusting to taste.
when cheese has melted and sauce become creamy, toss in pasta.
Notes
the finer chop on the squash, the better the texture! It cooks down and becomes pretty unnoticeable. It can also be substituted with about 1/2 a can of pumpkin!
feel free to substitute some of the milk with half-n-half or cream!
"soft cheese" can be anything on hand; ricotta, mozzarella, cottage cheese (I'd recommend blending/crushing), farmers cheese, etc
one of my fav recipes to pretend I'm not eating veggies with. hope you enjoy! ~~匸Pヽ(・ω・`)

Raw Vegan Marinara Sauce with Yellow Squash Fettuccine

We just gave someone from the local Pokémon Go community a bag full of fresh tomatoes from the garden. Dad and I absolutely love tomatoes, but we've been getting so many that we're having trouble keeping up. I have a lot of squash in the freezer, I'm going to be set over winter. I can't wait to freeze some cantaloupe for later. I also have a small amount of jalapeños and okra there, too.

July 2022: A Nice Sunday
We’ve been under heat advisories the past week so today’s high of 95 degrees Fahrenheit with mild winds was a gift:  
Tumblr media
I took this shot of the backyard garden while standing on one of our pine tree stumps: 
Tumblr media
We went to Plot 420 to do some watering & were surprised to find our crookneck squash plants had produced fruit. More fruit should be ready later this week & one of our zucchini plants had a fruit in the early stages of development that might be ready to harvest by the weekend:

Mom just cooked up a yummy Championship early-dinner for us!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spring salad with charred zuchinni and squash, salmon slices with homemade honey-based glaze, green beans, and dinner rice.
We're watching the womens's college basketball tournament, South Carolina Gamecocks against Iowa Hawkeyes. While the way her table is set up made it hard to look at the game (a glare from the window covered the tv), we had all more the chance to savor the food.
The food was a lil cooled off when I got there to eat but the salmon has a nice crispy texture. Mom said she prefers to cook fresh salmon since it would cook softer but it was fine to me. The galze had a great umami sweetness from honey and possibly soy sauce, where lemon juice perfectly brightened the flavor.
The salad was good. A nice agrula mix tho personally I find it too bitter. The italian seasoning helped lift up and sweeten the flavor, though. I liked the crunchy texture of the sliced baby carrots and gooeyness cherry tomatoes.
Tumblr media
The rice was good; def needed to be hotter and not exactly homemade but a nostalgic flavor since we ate those rice packs a lot growing up. It had a salty yet savory flavor and I liked the color.
The zuchinni and squash were a bit brittle but nonetheles flavorful. I liked the charred element and their colors as well. Squash and zucchini are one of my favorite savory fruit combos! Esp with meats, like this salmon.
Tumblr media
The meal was great; I would have had seconds if my period didnt deter me from eating to much lol.
Thanks again, Mama! ♥️
