so gardening is fun, and you plant a pack of zucchini, and then you have zucchini growing out of your ears...how do you get rid of it?
Well you team it up with the never ending acorn squash you also planted and make them a whole meal for a party on the BBQ!
ingredients
- huge zucchini
- acorn squash
- potatos
- mushrooms
- cheese grated
- garlic chopped
- spices
- onions diced
- oil to brush on
Slice and Grill the Zucchini and Squash
