Squash blossoms are very beautiful and equally delicate so, having them served as an appetizer makes the occasion special. You will not likely find squash blossoms at a grocery store. They are too delicate and do not have a shelf life of more than a day or two if properly cared for and stored. The best place to source is at a Farmer’s Market unless you grow them yourself. It is worth the effort. I plant at least a couple of squash plants every year that are primarily harvested as blossoms.

The monument covers over 33,000 acres of rugged canyons and mesas. Visitors can explore ancient cliff dwellings, kivas (ceremonial structures), and petroglyphs carved into the soft volcanic tuff. The Main Loop Trail takes you through the heart of the Frijoles Canyon, where you can climb ladders into the cliff alcoves. The monument offers natural beauty with diverse wildlife and scenic vistas.

I have been making scalloped potatoes for many years, a dish I learned to make with my mother, but I did not think about adding green chile to the dish until years ago when I found myself with freshly roasted green chile left over from a batch prepped for chile rellenos.
I chopped the chile and thought I would add it as a topping to the baked potato bar as we were grilling steaks the following day.
Instead, I opted to make scalloped potatoes because I could make them ahead to serve later and that was when the recipe Read More
