While we haven’t grown a garden this year, we’ve been the recipients of Dad’s abundance, particularly in the summer squash department! If you’ve ever planted yellow squash or zucchini, you’ve probably had it coming out of your ears at some point. Gluten free squash bread is a tasty way to use up the surplus.
You can either shred your yellow squash with a grater or do it the way I did and just throw it in the Ninja Blender.
