SQUASH AND POTATOES
My German grandmother taught me to cook, and she used bacon drippings in almost every recipe, even cookies! I happened upon this concoction one summer Sunday afternoon when our neighbors gave us a bumper crop of vegetables from their garden. Naturally I stared with grandmother's favorite ingredient...bacon!

ZUCCHINI AND BACON BAKE
This is from my neighbour and good friend, Ronnie, who is mother to five great kids. They all love this concoction and so do we. It serves 6-7 unless it is put in front of our former French exchange student, Emma. In that case, it serves one.

Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, soft, or have blemishes, as these may be bitter or have a tough texture.
- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the zucchini slices are different sizes, some may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini and potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in steamed vegetables instead of roasted ones.
- Season the vegetables well: Before roasting, season the zucchini and potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This will help them develop flavor and taste delicious.
- Roast the vegetables until tender: Roast the zucchini and potatoes at a high temperature (425°F) until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will take about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables.
- Add the bacon and cheese at the end: Once the zucchini and potatoes are roasted, add the cooked bacon and shredded cheese. Stir everything together and roast for a few more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
