The Hungry Wife

Bacon and Tomato Cups are always a hit at family events!  This is a delicious dish to pass or appetizer, the recipe which I got from my mother-in-law.  Every Christmas she makes these, and they are absolutely everyone’s favorite.  My mother-in-law has seemed to perfect the Bacon and Tomato Cups recipe over the many years she’s been making it, and even with the high demand, they never seem to run out!  She always has some hiding in the fridge or freezer, ready to be heated up and enjoyed on Christmas morning, too!

This Green Tea Smoothie is another favorite of ours on hot sunny days.  Fruit of any color is delicious in a smoothie made with green tea, but at The Hungry Wife we lean toward pale green honeydew, and sometimes we add kiwi, too.  Be sure to use a food processor when making smoothies with kiwi: Blenders are more likely to crush the bitter kiwi seeds for this Green Tea Smoothie.

You know it’s summertime when zucchini and summer squash are everywhere.  Between our home garden and the CSA farm, The Hungry Wife is overflowing with zucchini.  We have been working overtime trying to find recipes and unique ways to use up all our zucchini surplus.  This Sausage and Zucchini with Cheeses recipe, is an excellent way to put a dent in all the squash.  It is nice and versatile, you can serve it at brunch or as a light supper (The Hungry Wife’s favorite way to eat it).

Sausage and Zucchini with Cheeses is easy to make, and can be made ahead of time.  Just keep it in the fridge and pop it in the oven when your ready to cook.  If your not a big zucchini fan, I encourage you to try out this recipe.  With the help of sausage and cheese, the zucchini is nicely hidden within the casserole and can be enjoyed by all, even the kids.  The Hungry Wife likes to use hot Italian sausage in this recipe, but some breakfast sausage would be excellent too, especially if your making it for a brunch.  Get your helping of veggies and embrace all the joys that summer crops have to offer.
