I've been doing my share of cooking and grilling this summer, including enjoying the bounty of our local California produce like this fresh asparagus. I marinated the cleaned stalks in Vidalia Onion salad dressing prior to grilling. The asparagus was the side dish to "smoked pork chops" grilled with chopped canned pineapple. Delish, fast, easy, and kid and pantry friendly.
I love the smell of fresh raspberries in the morning. ;o) Cherries too.
I made pan fried Baby Zucchini Blossoms stuffed with Morel mushrooms.
First, I reconstituted the dried morel mushrooms.
Then, I cleaned out the interior stamen from each blossom, and washed and dried them prior to putting in the fresh mozzarella, chopped morels, herb, and beaten egg filling.
The zucchini blossoms were dipped in a beaten egg, dredged in a flour, parmesan, dried herbs, and bread crumb mixture with salt and pepper.
Finally, the stuffed squash is pan fried in some vegetable oil until nicely golden and served immediately for a Molte Buono Appetito!

Mmmm! Those raspberries look delicious! I'll pass on the vegetable portion of the menu, but everything else looks really good. I think all we've grilled is some chicken and some pork tenderloin. Oh, and some asparagus back when it was in season here.
I'm getting back on the plane!
Every time I eat strawberries from Watsonville, I think of you all.
Oh my! You sure have some delicious stuff cooking over there! I want those stuffed blossoms right now! I think we are going to have to get you a foodie blog Martha - YUMMY!
That is the fanciest meal ever!! Looks amazing!
I love Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing, but never thought to use it as a marinade. Will have to try it!
No thank you on the asparagus but please pass the zucchini.... mmmmmmm.... :)
loooove me some asparagus.. bet it was awesome!!
Yumm! I'm totally on my way over for dinner so I hope you have left overs :-) I have to say that I've been cooking a lot of asparagus this summer as well. I never liked it until this year so now I find myself buying it all the time and trying new recipes. You've made me very hungry!
Now I am officially starving. This looks delicious! I never prepare asparagus because I don't know what to do with it. This looks simple and yummy.
We've been eating a lot of paninis this summer---and almost all of them have had basil from our big basil plant outside the back door. I love that!
