Thanksgiving: Homemade Pie Crust

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I’m sure most people already have their menus planned and guests invited. However,  those last minute planners who need quick, easy, tasty recipes have come to the right page.

I happen to love dessert and I know most will agree!  Pie is a pretty traditional dessert on Thanksgiving.  With that said I would like to introduce you to my favorite homemade pie crust.

PIE CRUST: 5 tablespoons of melted butter (or non-dairy butter for parve) , 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 1/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs

Sailing with Summer Squash

It’s summertime and I’ll never say no to a boat ride.  Since I don’t actually have a boat, may as well make one using one of my favorite summertime squashes: the zucchini.  This summer vegetable (also a fruit) is not only delicious but low in calories, contains potassium and  Vitamins A and C.

Summer Squash Sails:  zucchini, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, basil, minced garlic, turmeric, oregano

  • Cut the zucchini down the middle and scoop out the inside. Lay on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • IMG_6754Mix spices and minced garlic with marinara sauce.
  • Fill zucchini with marinara sauce.  Top with mozzarella cheese.
  • You can also add chopped onions or any other spices you desire.
  • Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 18 minutes.
  • Tip:  If you want the zucchini to be softer first bake zucchini with the sauce for 18 mins.  Take out of oven then add the cheese and bake another 12 minutes.  Serve with salad.
