Crab in Summer Squash Bowls

I’m a total sucker for any dish that comes in a little contained bowl. It’s cute, fun and makes everything feel like a party. It’s even better when it’s easy. These little circular summer squash make the perfect vessel for a summery, simple delight. Pre-cooked crab meat and a little bit of cheese round out this dish - it’s as easy as can be but somehow still feels like a special occasion. And don’t fret if you don’t have this kind of squash - you could make this just as easily with your standard piece of zucchini.

Making the Most of Summer Produce

As much as I love cooking and sharing, the last few months have been particularly strange for me as someone who loves to learn from others.
