Don’t you just love summer? When else do you get fresh vegetables from the garden, excuses to go out for ice cream, tank tops and bare feet in the grass? Can you tell what my favorite season is?

Zucchini. It’s growing like crazy in my garden.

It’s delicious and healthy. Everyone in my family loves it. There aren’t too many veggies I can say that about.

Bacon. Yum, crisp.

Corn. Sweet, white, delicious.

Let’s do a medley. They blend so well together. What a combo.

This is a nice easy summer side dish using what’s in season.

You must make this. Tell the kids you’re making bacon and corn for dinner. Just forget to mention the zucchini part. Most likely they will eat it.

Then you will have a new veggie to add to plate on a regular basis. That’s a score for you!

Let me know if you decide to try it and what your family thinks of this dish.

Thanks for being here friends!
