Hot Seared, Dry Non-Stick Skillet Summer Squash Zoodles & New Garden Bed

It seems to me that the zoodle craze has died down a bit, but they can still be fun... I had one little yellow squash from my mystery plant, used a mini hand-held zoodler and made these Hot Seared, Dry Non-Stick Skillet Summer Squash Zoodles. You can use zucchini or a couple different types of summer squash. The idea here is to be patient and let the ~hot~ skillet sear the zoodles a bit before you turn or stir them, and yes, it might even smell a little like burning pumpkin! Let your non-stick, and the non-stick is key or they'll just super glue themselves to the pan, get as hot as it can without harming it.  These only took about 5 minutes to cook. Then I simply added a little butter and S&P before dinner. Gotta love summer veggies folks:@)

After much thought about the back beds, I did decide I wanted everything to be compact and have access to the raised beds from the patio. I lucked into one last set for more than 50% off and got it in place last weekend. (Planters a little jumbled as I worked...)

This bed will get sun from 11AM/noon until it goes down at night. We will find out how well it does next spring:@) As soon as the plants fade in the back beds I'll move the dirt, and this little project will be complete. I'm happy with the way things look, and think this set-up will work well for me.

Seared Skillet Summer Squash Zoodles

1. Zoodle your squash and/or zukes.
2. Drop into very hot non-stick pan. Spread out to make as thin a layer as possible. Let sit, once it begins to brown on the bottom, flip or stir to cook the other side.
3. Serve with butter, S&P.

Enjoy the last garden goodies

 of the season and

Have a Happy Day:@)
