Well... we don't have much of a bounty yet, but we did have two tiny yellow squash (I like them when they are small). So, I fixed a bed of fresh greens from my garden, along with the squash and onion, then made up this dish. (I love being creative in the kitchen.) It is a Chicken Tostada. Chicken breasts were baked yesterday by marinating with fresh lime and tequila, olive oil, rosemary and cilantro (from my garden). I placed leftover frozen corn and black beans on the tostada, topped with sliced chicken and havarti cheese, sprinkled with more cilantro and smoked paprika. Then placed it in the toaster broiler until melted. Was VERY delicious, if I do say so. My husband always teases me about being able to recreate my cooking because I do so much on the fly, but I think I'll remember this one. Because the chicken was already cooked it took only a small amount of time and no hot kitchen. Suuuure would love to have had one of those nice tomatoes that everyone is showing to make this dish really complete!

Well, it looks yummy, Bev! I love the little squash too. I know what you mean about trying to remember what you did when re-creating a recipe. I've forgotten most of the dishes I used to cook when everyone was at home, but for me that means hunting up the right cookbook, not picking my brain!
That looks sooooo good! And hearing the ingredients I know I would like the taste as well.
Hi Bev, thanks for visiting my blog. I'm so excited that you have a ranch house with a cottage garden!!! I can't wait to read all of your blog and I'm hoping you have lots of pictures. I'm starting from the beginning. And thanks for the encouragement! Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh, that sounds and looks very yum! What a perfect dish on a hot summer evening!
