squash blossom quesadillas
There’s a certain summer treat that I take special delight in buying at Farmer’s Market each summer: squash blossoms. I think it’s mainly the fact that I’m buying flowers that are also food that give me a little giggle each time I do it.
But whatever does one DO with squash blossoms at home? Well, since I’m deathly afraid of frying pretty much anything, stuffed blossoms are out of the question. Instead, I love to indulge in some easy to make quesadillas!

I never buy these at the farmer’s market, but I love them at restaurants.
