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.
