Yeah, I probably will not use the squash. I went looking for the recipe after getting a flier from a caterer. They just use the cheese and tomatoes with some basil. I wanted something with a little more. I will substitute the squash with something a little more to everyone's liking. Maybe cucumbers. My family loves cucs.

Since Badger mentioned Almond Butter and Cashew Butter in another thread it got me dying to try some! I am not sure if I can find any around here - but I found some really easy sounding recipes to try!

If I can't find any at The Fresh Market or the Health Food Store by us - I think I am going to try making them myself!

I made this super easy pie recipe yesterday and it was so yummy!! I used a wonderful blueberry filling!

I love blueberry pie!

Oh so do I Badger!! This recipe made a wonderful and super easy pie!! I plan to do it with other pie fillings. This filling is called Bakers and comes in a nice big jar that looks like a canning jar. Better than the can stuff.

Oh, I am so going to try this!

GOOD! It was insanely easy and yet tasted awesome!! I am going to keep the pastry sheets in the house all the time, along with various pie fillings, so anytime someone wants pie VIOLA!

I have various kinds of Pie filling already so I only need the puff pastry. My sis and hubby are coming for a visit, so this will be perfect!

Speaking of The Food Network, is anyone else watching Brian Boitano's new show "What would Brian Boitano Make?"

I have not seen it yet Badger. Is it good?

The only show on The Food Network we make sure to watch is Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives We love that one and we love Guy!!

We used to watch Emeril and Rachel Ray a lot too.

I haven't seen that program...........what time is it on? Probably daytime? I love Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! I love Guy too! I also love Next Food Network Star when it's on and if I can catch it, Chopped.

It's on Sundays at 2:00 P.M. EST/1:00 P.M. CST and repeats Saturdays at 6:30 P.M. EST/5:30 P.M. CST.

It's really funny. Basically the premise is that each week Brian has some sort of party for lots of people and makes food and drinks for all of them. So far they've been mostly appetizer type food. The first week they had him inviting over a bunch of women because he was trying to get a girlfriend for one of his friends. And then this week, the premise was that he went to a bar where a bunch of Roller Derby girls were and somehow managed to invite them all to his house for a cocktail party.

If you can find a way to catch it, you should. It's hysterical. I've seen comments from people who say they never liked him as a skater because they thought he took himself too seriously and are pleasantly surprised by how funny and snarky and self-deprecating he is.

Oh god I loved him as a skater!! I wept like a baby when he won the Olympic Gold Medal

It was a great competition because both Brians skated really really well and it just came down to Boitano being just a teensy bit better technically that night.

Yes, I loved both Brians - but I just have to root for the USA!
