Pattypan Squash

I have a neighbor who farms and they also plant a nice garden every year.  They always share any extra with neighbors and folks at church.  This year they planted some pattypan squash.  I have never had any, so when they gave me a few today, I wasn't sure exactly how to fix it.  So what I did was I carved out the stem and a little of the meat and filled it with butter, and baked it.  It was so good!!!  I also looked it up on the computer and got some really good ideas of some things I want to try.  I will post the next way that I fix it.  If you have never had it you should try it!!

Strawberry Cream Pie

The cream pie recipe below is one of my favorites.  My mom had a big strawberry patch and we all looked forward to them every year.  She could make anything grow.  We always had a great garden and growing up she canned everything she could get her hands on.  My sister found the pie recipe on a cool whip container and we discovered just how good it was.  It makes a real pretty pie if you use strawberries  in the pie and then put some on top as well.

I made it this weekend using peaches that I had frozen last summer.  Gosh it was so good! I hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as we do.
