Stuffed Squash Blossoms are all the rage

a vast pile of harvested squash blossoms
Despite all my foodie tendencies, I've never made stuffed squash flowers. I grew up with zucchini plants in the backyard every summer and I don't even remember an opportunity to harvest the flowers. I guess they are one of those delicacies that are only available during a very short window of time and if you miss it, then you are out of luck.

However, I've been gazing at the pictures and recipes that other food bloggers have been posting of their own squash blossoms and my curiosity has been piqued. I'm planning on getting over to my favorite local farmers' market early next Sunday, in the hopes that I'll be able to snatch up a few of these little guys for my own experimentation. In the meantime, I will just have to satisfy myself with the digital fruits of the labors of others. Like this recipe for Squash Blossoms Stuffed with Goat Cheese that the Curdnerd posted (he got it from the Santa Barbara Independent). Looks fairly simple and (I imagine) so delicious.

You know, we Italians have eating these for years!!
They are really nice stuffed with cheese and then battered and fried!! You know, i hated these as a child, maybe because we had sooooooooooooomany of these in the summer. It really makes me laugh how much restraunts are charging for this too. Its such a cheap meal. Another thing is what restraunts call garden greens or something like that. We italians from the south call it Minestra. And that is only eaten when there is nothing else in the house. But I saw it on a menu for 10.95. Hey, its a WEED!!
but anyways, the sutff is good and enjoy. I do.

take care
