Farmer's Market Vegetarian Quesadillas

Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup chopped yellow squash
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
cooking spray
6 (9 inch) whole wheat tortillas
1 1/4 cups shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions:
In a large nonstick pan, cook red pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and mushrooms in olive oil over medium to medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until just tender. Remove vegetables from pan.

Coat the same pan with cooking spray, and place one tortilla in pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese evenly over tortilla, and layer 3/4 cup of the vegetable mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle another 1/8 cup of cheese on the vegetables, and top with a second tortilla. Cook until golden on both sides, for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove quesadilla from pan, and repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut each quesadilla into 8 triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve hot.

Fresh Zucchini , tomato, and summer squash stew

Ingredients:
4-5 small not to fat zucchini diced cubed (not to small or it gets mushy)
4-5 small not to fat yellow summer squash (or yellow zucchini) cubed
3-4 good size ripe fresh tomatoes diced
4-5 cloves fresh garlic (if you can’t get fresh that’s okay, you can also use garlic scapes) chopped coarsely
Fresh scallions are optional or spring onions.
1-3 Tbsp fresh oregano (if available if not use dried but only 1 tbsp)
1-3 Tbsp fresh basil (same as above if using dried)
Fresh parsley to taste
All the herbs can be adjusted to your taste

Directions:
Sauté the garlic (and onions if you use them) lightly
Add your squash & continue to sauté until cooked and still crunchy
Add tomatoes and fresh herbs
Simmer to a stew consistency but do not over due the squash or make the tomatoes disappear.
Serve over your favorite pasta (linguini or Rotelle are my favorite), or serve it as a side dish. Enjoy! This is one of my daughter’s favorite meals since she was a little girl! I make it in the winter too. Of course things are not as fresh and I use good quality canned crushed tomatoes.
