Fried Yellow Squash ...p81

If you're gonna fry, fry a vegetable!

In this case, yellow squash - though I venture to say zucchini would make a nice alternate.  I must say this very simple recipe makes a scrumptious side to your entrée:  a southern classic that deserves universal appeal.  Nana, the critic, agreed that it had just the right amount of crispness and saltiness.  I served it with Alton Brown's Fish 'N Chips (minus the chips) and this was a wonderful combination.

Fried Alaskan Cod & yellow squash - YUM.

Garden Harvest Squares ...p17

An appetizer akin to a cold veggie pizza - wonderful and wonderfully easy.  Be sure to pack the vegetables down a bit with your *clean* hands so they don't slip off on the munching.  I do think next time, I'll chop the broccoli and peppers up even smaller.  If there are leftovers, pop them in the frig - they're just as delicious the next day with a softer crust.
