Animal Activity ~ Zucchini/Yellow Squash and other tidbits

  There has been a lot of wildlife activity around there.  We have been seeing the cardinals almost every night.  We've had a run in with a sick raccoon, and I happened to see a deer heading to the garden.  The deer got spooked by something, reared up and turned around and ran off.  I am wondering if the motion sensor sound is deterring the deer as well.   I gave two bags of squash to a close friend.  The plants are producing well this year. Most recent breakfast - Crustless Zucchini Quiche.  It is made with almond and coconut flour (no white flour), and it was I used up about 8 yellow squash to make us some squash patties to go with dinner.   I also sliced zucchini and made a no sauce type lasagna with prosciutto and mozzarella cheese.  We love the squash patties, and have made them for years.  The other recipe was new, and if I were to make it again, I would dredge the slices in egg first.  I would also use thin sli...

Cucumbers ~ Yellow Squash ~ Cleaning
