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 SQUASH AND POTATO STEW
A recipe from my Italian family. Serve with a good Italian bread. Flavor is improved when refrigerated overnight and can keep for a few days in fridge. If stew becomes too thick, can thin out with some chicken broth. I have substituted a 14.5-16 ounce can of diced tomatoes (fire roasted or plain) for the cup of tomato sauce and cup of water or broth.

SQUASH, ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES
This is a very simple dish that my family really enjoys. When I was a little girl my mother always made it for us to enjoy. Any vegetable can be used to add to the potatoes. I usually use small red potatoes (then I use about 8 rather than 4), but any kind of potato can be used.
