Summer Squash Bake

This is a nice, light summer dish with good texture and color.  There are so many veggies that the dish stays crisp, but also a chewy part with the eggs.  I think that the flavor is really unique (in a good way), probably from the Miracle Whip - not your normal quiche/egg taste.  I used a mix of Parmesan and Asiago cheese instead of plain Parm, shredded Italian cheese for pizza, 1/2 small onion, and 1 medium green pepper.

This also reheats well in the microwave - good for lunch the next day!

Saucy Pepper Steak

 This is definitely a favorite dish that I have made many times.  I like that it has carbs, veggies, and protein all in one shot.  It’s pretty healthy too – low on calories and high in carbs and protein (high in the sodium area too, though).  The different bell peppers give the dish a nice pop of color.  Also, I love BBQ sauce and like the unique taste of mixing it with soy sauce, garlic, and pepper. 


The only thing that I sub in this dish is Trader Joe’s Steak-less Strips – they work very well as a replacement.  This is a very easy dish to make and presents well ;-)
