Monday night supper

This was Monday night’s supper: field peas, a tomato from our garden, and stir-fried patty pan squash. The “entrée” is some roast beef slices simmered in barbecue sauce and served over a slice of bread.

The patty pan squash is great for stir-frying with butter, cornmeal mix, salt, and pepper. It’s the best we’ve had yet.

Wednesday breakfast

We finally made the blueberry ricotta pancakes. The ricotta makes the pancakes so moist and rich that you don’t even need syrup (but I had some anyway).

I used maple syrup instead of the honey syrup in the recipe. And I used oil instead of butter. Because our pancake pan is small, we have to make a bunch of passes, and the butter always burns by the end.
