Skillet Cornbread with Blueberries

Alias Grandmom’s Cornbread with Value Added Our new favorite cornbread recipe came accidentally.  Unless you’re one of  ten million plus Instagram followers of a certain famous actress  you may not have seen it.  Sorry to say I am not a follower either but the recipe caught my eye on some foodie site.  It’s baked in a preheated cast iron pan in a similar style to the no knead bread I’ve been baking.  And...

Caramelized Onions and Summer Squash

Caramelized Onions and Summer Squash

When you have a garden you pretty much have to go with the flow.  When the corn is ready you eat corn,  after the raccoons have had more than their fair share.  When the tomatoes are ready you eat tomato sandwiches every day, make salsa, spaghetti sauce, stewed tomatoes, tomato soup, dried tomatoes, etc. The same goes for yellow summer squash and zucchini.  Most people know that using zucchini you can make cakes, breads, brownies, ratatouille,...
