I love to cook and I love to experiment with recipes. I have been cooking clean and healthy for the past 5 years or so due to health issues that both my husband and I have. You may know them as High Cholesterol and Triglycerides. We had to cut out tons of Saturated Fat and we just chose to cut out Trans Fat due to the nature of that BEAST, low Sodium and low sugar!! This blog will consist of the way I make GREAT meals healthy for my family. I will post the recipe as I make it.

Indian summer Succotash
Indian Summer Succotash
2 Tbsp EVOO
6 Shallots, halved through root end
1/2 sweet potato, peeled and cubed (1cup)
2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, divided
2 Zuchinni, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 clove garlic, minced (1tsp)
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 cup grape tomatoes
Parsely to taste
(the recipe calls for 3 Tbsp coarsely chopped fresh mint rather than parsely, but I tried it and it didn't taste very good to me at all so I cut this out of my recipe)
1) Heat oil in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place shallots cut side down in skillet, and add sweet potato. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp lemon juice and 2 Tbsp water. Cover and cook 4 minutes. Add zucchini, garlic and 1 Tbsp more water. Cover and cook 6 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
2) Add corn, tomatoes and 1 Tbsp lemon juice. Cook, uncovered, 3 minutes, or until juices thicken. Stir in parsely and remaining 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, and season with salt & pepper if desired.
Tweaked from Vegetarian Times September 2012 page 73
NOTE: I only used a 1/2 cap full of lemon juice, I added Braggs Aminos and more water! darn Citric Acid allergies!!!
