11 net carbsRecipe from EatingWell 500-Calorie Dinners**The lemon juice and feta cheese gives this a different but good flavor.

Light but filling summery dish. I serve it as a side but the variations are endless.

Just yummy!!

Italian flat beans are a great alternative to string beans when in season. They have less skin & a bigger bean. This recipe is a great side dish for a bbq or picnic as it does not contain mayonnaise & will not spoil. It is delicious served chilled or room temperature.

I'm not a summer squash fan, so when I run into a recipe I like, specially if it is quick and easy, I continue to make it. This is one of those recipes. Pretty quick, really easy.

This coating and method is great for all kinds of vegetables such as zucchini, green tomatoes, okra, eggplant, etc. season your dredge aggressively. #mycookbook

Quick and tasty.

This is a macrobiotic dish, but I often make it for my husband who's having pancreatic and liver problems.I hear it's also effective against diabetes.For the best taste and appearance don't mix it too much.You'll taste a mild sweetness.Basically, I don't use sugar, but if you prefer a sweeter taste, then it's fine to add beet sugar.

#GoldenApron23Cooking the string beans in boiling water with baking soda, and cooling them in ice water, will help the string beans to have a bright green color.

We've been bringing home summer squash by the pound in our local CSA share, and this is a simple, delicious way to use up a lot of it all at once. I use gochujang-- Korean red pepper paste-- to spice this soup, but if you don't have it on hand a squeeze of lemon juice, some salt and pepper, or a dash of tobasco will do just fine. The key is to not overspice-- let the delicate flavor of the summer squash shine here. Pictured on the left, served with Blackened Corn and Shrimp Salad and honeydew melon topped with chili powder.

I’ll eat squash any way you wanna fix it. This is just a super easy way to make it and it’s summer in a pan. I envy every single one of you that has a garden💕😂Fortunately, we have an abundance of beautiful, fresh produce here in Florida and I take full advantage of it. We love the taste of squash and this can be made easily in large amounts as well as smaller.

I've had green beans like this at Chinese food restaurants. The other day when I made Mongolian beef it made me think of these.

I love candied Japanese sweet potato. I had some leftover soy beans, so I thought I'd try them with kabocha squash with that kind of flavor.You can use just honey or just sugar. I'd recommend choosing honey if you want to use one or the other.I've written down 2 tablespoons each, but that's just a guideline. Add however much you like!I think that it tastes better if you flavor it generously. Recipe by pomu:

I wanted to change up my usual simmered kabocha, so I added some frozen edamame and green beans.Simmering the kabocha in the dashi and sugar first really brings out the sweetness.Add the edamame and green beans last to help keep their color. Recipe by ayamammy

This is the item in the upper right hand corner I’m going to introduce this entire dish recipe by a recipe so we’re gonna start with this one

When there’s a little bit of dry black beans, a few baby Limas, and a tad bit of pintos left and there’s not enough of one to cook for a meal. Ya mix’em all together! Throw in some ham, a lil bit’o onion and garlic…. Yum! Tasty!

This is a delicious, savory, quick meal that my mom used to make when I was little and it even won a local contest once. It's great with a salad and some hot buttered bread. Enjoy!

The spaghetti squash is the most under utilized vegetable in the squash family. They pack loads of flavor when they're seasoned. Within my region are farms who are reintroducing this wonderful vegetable and here's the recipe I gave them.

If you want your kids to eat more vegetables try these green beans.

Marrocan spices makes this stuffed squash recipe different!

I cooked these separate to keep the flavors noticable. Both of these vegetables absorb flavors a great deal. I have cooked them together all at once didn't really care for them. It was a one note flavor. This time I got the layer of flavor I was wanting to achieve.

A little more lighter way of enjoying yellow summer squash.

This recipe has gained popularity in Turkish community. I decided to share this one, if you're looking for a carbless but tasty dinner. I think this would make a perfect appetizer too.

This is something I made when I first got married, so it's a recipe that's full of memories. These days, since we've been married for a while I haven't made it much...Letting the onions sit for a while after cutting will allow the water to drain naturally, so it is best to cut them from the beginning without rinsing in water.I used freshly picked kabocha squash, so it is yellow in color .As long as it's a delicious kabocha...

This is a standard macrobiotic recipe.If you add the konbu while the adzuki is cooking, it'll simmer faster.Adding kabocha to adzuki konbu gives this dish a sweet flavor, making it easier for kids to eat. Recipe by Ruruko.

Cooking flat Italian string beans in tomato sauce alone is a great side to any meat dish. This can easily turn into an entree by combining the string beans and sauce with a short pasta such as penne.
