Much to my dismay my zucchini plants have not produced well this year. I use a lot of  zucchini in my cooking because you can fry it, boil it, bake it, stuff it, make bread, jelly, cookies or cake and it’s good for you! When I came across this recipe I knew I had to fix it that night for dinner and I already had all the ingredients. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did, and let us know about it. If you have a favorite zucchini recipe and would like to share it with our readers please mail it to or drop it by Mattos Newspapers offices or email to the food editor. We would love to hear from you.

Looking for something different for this Fourth of July weekend barbecue? How about trying Country Ribs with Mango BBQ Sauce along with Grilled Corn on the Cob and Watermelon-Cucumber Salad?

These recipes will definitely spice up those taste buds. Country style ribs will cook faster than whole slabs and you can test them with a skewer after 30-45 minutes on the grill.

Having southern roots I have enjoyed Southern cooking all my life. Two things I always looked forward to in the summer that mom grew in her garden were okra and fresh tomatoes off the vine. I love fried okra but  it is sometimes very hard to find locally. Luckily, they now have breaded okra in the freezer section readily available.  So when I recently found a recipe for Fried Okra Salad my immediate thought was “Wow, two of my  favorite things!” This salad is not only colorful but delicious, with the okra soaking up the sweet-and-sour-sour vinaigrette for an incredible taste experience.

I recently tried a new recipe that had friends and family asking for the recipes. Not only easy to prepare (one of my main criteria) but absolutely delicious.

If you are looking for a really tasty dessert recipe for your family or to serve to friends at your monthly bunco game or other get-together the recipe for Orange Brownies with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting is a sure hit. Rich and creamy, this treat will satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth.
