OMG! This dish is so good and so easy and fast to make!!! I modified this recipe and my husband says it’s restaurant quality! If you are gluten-free and you love your pasta you gotta try this dish!!! Even if you’re not gluten-free you gotta try it! Yummo!!! I modified this recipe using Gluten Free egg Pasta (instead of Ravioli because I haven’t found any gluten-free ravioli yet in any store.) AND this is the first gluten-free egg noodles I’ve found! Yipppee!! Ok, so I haven’t had any pasta in a while! I’m excited about it!!!

This season we are growing Tutuma Squash because of the Vine Borer’s getting our squash plants last year! We bought our seeds which were recommended at the Natural Gardener. Here are our first two fruits!
This fabulous summer squash may not be well-known, but that is soon to change! With wonderful, creamy texture and buttery flavor, squash lovers will be happily pleased, and even squash skeptics may soon be won over. Also called tatume or calabacita, the Latin word referring to any small cucurbit, this squash is a favorite in Mexico and southern Texas. Fruits are best when picked at about 3” long. Vigorous vines to 12 feet thrive in heat, and are more drought tolerant than most squash; practically immune to squash borer insect.
An oblong-shaped vegetable with a tapered end, this squash is native to Latin America where it is often served in casseroles and other side dishes. Similar to zucchini in shape, size, and texture, Tatuma has a soft green skin with a slightly firm white flesh. The squash can be baked, fried, or sautéed to be served as a side dish seasoned with butter and herbs, or used as an ingredient in stews, casseroles, or stir-fried vegetables. When preparing in an oven, the squash can be cooked whole or cut lengthwise from stem to bottom and baked. Available year round, this squash is also known as white Mexican squash or tatume.

Benito Chips are my new fav since corn bothers me almost as much as gluten/wheat when I eat too much of it! I used Black Bean Beanito Chips in this and some of the pinto bean ones. Use the ones you like! They have several varieties.
I made this recipe from Ina Garten at Food Network and tweaked it gluten-free. Took it to our fellowship book class on a Monday night and it was a real hit! Just the right spice and heat!
SHREDDED Beef –
I had my women’s group last evening so made a smaller version of this quick, easy dish yesterday for my husband before I left. He loved it! I’m also making this one take to our friends for Easter dinner and using bacon instead since she’s serving the ham!
Note: I made a smaller version for me and my husband last night using my Pampered Chef 8 1 / 2 cup Rectangle Leakproof Glass container. It goes into the oven, to the frig or freezer, back to oven or microwave and is great to take food to potlucks! And it comes with a snap-lock lid. I have all the sizes and love these babies!! We no longer microwave food in plastic! This is the 3 cup pictured…
