I’m always looking for different recipes that use zucchini as well as summer squash. You can use the yellow squash or small zucchini. About six inches is long enough. They can be longer. My husband, Gene, found this recipe from someone. I don’t know who. I thought, man, this is too much trouble. But when you have so much squash, you have to try something new. You can use sausage — just make sure you cook the sausage and drain it. They’re both good.

TRIED ’N’ TRUE: Whip up a rhubarb surprise cake
This recipe comes from Ruth Baker. She sent a lot of rhubarb recipes. I have been putting them in the paper for the last three years. I’ve almost used most of them. Some I have used more than others. Mary Hunter also had this recipe. I have made this a lot. Gene really likes this. I use sweetener and yellow or white sugar-free cake mix. The only sugar I put in this recipe is in the marshmallows. Adjust for this. Our grandkids also enjoy this cake. Thanks to Ruth and Mary.

Cherries are one of my favorite fruits. This recipe, from Mary Hunter, is one I had never made before. I’ve always made a crust for the top of cherry pie, and this has a streusel topping.
