Veg Dinner

I've always been a big fan of the vegetable dinner. It's usually on my menu once a week. It's just a bunch of side dishes without an entree, and I love it. With so much fresh veg in the house, veg dinner has been spectacular lately. Some favorites:

Fried okra - Okra chopped into 1-inch chunks, dredged in milk and egg, covered in cornmeal, and fried till done.

Baked pattypan squash: Yummy little funny looking squash, sliced longways into thick slices and covered in butter and parmesan, then baked.

Stir fry: This usually includes pepper, yellow squash, onion, and tomatoes, all sauteed together over high heat and spiced with something. Salt and pepper are sometimes enough, but we've also used lemon herb seasoning as well as italian seasonings like oregano and basil.
