Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Summer Squash Oregano ~ page 106


What makes this dish so fresh tasting, is summer ripe tomatoes, peeled, and stirred in just until hot, and a good freshly grated Parmesan cheese melted on top.
I made this recipe couple weeks ago when I was keeping four grandkids while Carissa was in the hospital having baby Sylvia. Lillian, or course, wanted to help. The recipe calls for both yellow squash and zucchini, however, I neglected to buy the zucchini this time, so I just used all yellow squash, which is fine if you need to.
Evelyn wanted a turn to help too, so she put in the Parmesan. The burner is turned off at this point, the pan covered, and the retained heat melts the cheese.

You know how some dishes say "summer" to you? Well, this is one of those. Very delicious with the vegetables of the season.
