Here’s what I made from the July Paint Bucket,
the flavor/theme of the month was Zucchini
I adapted Cheesy Garlic Ritz Bits from Findatorr
into Parmesan Ritz Bits Cracker Snacks
was inspired by Summer Squash Gratin from Cook Top Cove
Baked Parmesan Yellow Squash Rounds from Five Heart Home
inspired my version with garlic salt
These can be served as a side dish or an appetizer
I also made Roasted Parmesan Zucchini, Squash, Corn and Tomatoes
which is a fast, healthy, and easy side dish
Parmesan and Blue Cheese Roasted Zucchini and Yellow Squash
is easy to throw together and is a very tasty side dish
Put those summer vegetables on a flatbread
for something different~
This Corn, Zucchini & Yellow Squash Alfredo Flatbread
is a perfect side for grilled chicken, pork, beef or fish
We also enjoyed another pizza, Pizza Caprese which was inspired by
Summer Slab Tomato Pie Squares from A Spicy Perspective
Crack Corn Salad from Plain Chicken was the inspiration
for this easy Corn Salad
