Squash blossoms are a seasonal delicacy that you absolutely should enjoy. These bright yellow flowers are the male blossoms that grow on various squash plants such as zucchini & summer squash. Every year I love to plant these vegetables in my garden not only for the fruit it bears but these beautiful, edible blossoms.

zucchini & summer squash stacks

This is SO easy to make. The tempura batter takes two seconds to whisk together and the ricotta herb spread only involves chopping up some fresh herbs (but dried herbs can be used as a substitute!).

creamed corn polenta

It’s my favorite season of the year: FRESH SWEET CORN SEASON! I have always loved to make creamy, buttery polenta so combining that with fresh sweet creamed corn was a no-brainer and you GUYS, it turned out AMAZING. It is kinda like corn casserole but, dare I say, it may even be better.
