It’s been awhile since I posted a recipe so I thought I needed to share this yummy dish I made the other night… stuffed pattypan squash.

I started with my pick of produce from the weekend’s market.

Next, I cut open and “gutted” the pattypan squash.
helpful hint: cook the squash on stove for about 6 mins to get it soft. It’s much easier to “gut” that way. 
I knew I wanted to pack them full of yumminess so I took my other veggies and chopped them up to make the stuffing.

Once everything is filled chopped and you’ve added your favorite spices, stuff the squash.
extra step- I wanted a little bit more out of my stuffing so I {quickly} made some barley and then folded the veggie mix into the barley. 

Once the squash is stuffed, put them in a baking dish and bake for about 20 mins at 375. Once the squash is soft and the stuffing looks “cooked”, they are ready to eat!

Throw the little “hat” back on and enjoy! I served mine with a big mixed green salad and fresh fruit.

What’s your favorite summertime squash dish?
