Ingredients

2 cups shredded yellow squash or zucchini
1-1/2 cups Italian-flavored bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chopped dill
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste (optional)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
ranch dip for serving

Instructions

1. Grate your squash or zucchini onto a thick pile of paper towels or a clean tea towel. Squeeze as much liquid out of it as you can. 

2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the squash, bread crumbs, cheeses, eggs, onions, dill, salt and pepper until well combined.

3. Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, form 1-inch balls and place about 1/2-inch apart on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. They won't spread while baking.

This recipe for homemade cheese is very, very easy. No special equipment is needed. The texture of the cheese reminds me of feta, which I love.

Homemade No-Churn Ice Cream Sundaes

Image
Homemade ice cream sundaes from scratch!  I have had a hankering for ice cream lately. I really enjoy making it at home with ingredients I can pronounce. No fancy machine needed! I like to embellish my sundaes a bit with homemade chocolate ganache sauce or strawberry sauce. You can stick a chocolate caramel turtle on your chocolate sundae as well. Yum!  Am I eating them all myself? No! I always share with my family, of course!  I made them just in time too because I started to get a sore throat last night. This ice cream really feels soothing going down. It's so creamy and smooth.  With the recipe for the vanilla ice cream below, you can use it as a base for whatever kind of ice cream you want to make. Just add fruits and sauces to change the flavor. You can add peanut butter too. The sky's the limit. To freeze, I put the ice cream in Glad® plastic containers. They come with lids and keep the ice cream fresh. You can find them next to the freezer bag aisle at your gr...
