My Food Life

So, I totally slept in this morning and forgot that it was Saturday, missing out on weekend farmer's market adventures. Phooey. At least I got some nice sleep. :)

But here's a dish I made last night with the bf, using vegetables from my past two market visits: Lettuce, tomato, and zephyr squash. I've learned that zephyr squash is "...mild flavored matching creamy and sweet flesh. Never bitter, ideal squash for fresh eating or cooking." It was heated in the cooking of the quesadilla, but I've also used it fresh on sandwiches before and it's true that it's a great addition when eaten uncooked, too. In the quesadilla we had the squash and tomato, and we also used mozzarella cheese along with salt, black pepper, cumin, red pepper (ground), and chili powder. You can see that on top we added warmed black beans, more tomato, lettuce, and a bit of sour cream and black pepper. A side of Sun Chips was enough, because the quesadilla itself was larger than it appears in the photo. Simple and delicious!
