Creamy Squash n’ Corn Casserole – a.k.a. Mellow Yellow Blend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

2 cups (16 ozs.) cottage cheese (full fat, 2% fat, low fat – your call!)
\n4 egg whites
\n1 egg
\n2 cups fresh corn kernels (about two ears of corn)
\n4 cloves garlic, minced
\n2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
\n2 pounds yellow summer squash, sliced thin (1\/8″ to 1\/4″)
\n1\/3 cup grated cheddar cheese (full fat, low fat, your call)<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/p>\n

Drain cottage cheese.\u00a0\u00a0 Have you noticed that some brands of cottage cheese are looser or more liquidy (is that a word?) than others?\u00a0 I have!\u00a0\u00a0 So…if you feel it necessary, pull the mesh strainer out and set over a bowl for 30 minutes.\u00a0 With the cottage cheese in it, of course.\u00a0 Draining the liquid!<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (while draining).
\nSpray 2-1\/2 quart casserole dish with Pam or the equivalent.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, whip up the egg whites.\u00a0 Add the egg to it; continue to whip, and then stir in the drained cottage cheese.\u00a0\u00a0 Stir in corn, garlic and chives.\u00a0 Layer half of sliced squash on the bottom.\u00a0 Shake a bit of salt n’ pepper on the squash.\u00a0 Cover with cottage cheese mixture. Top it with remaining squash and then … sprinkle with cheese.<\/p>\n

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.\u00a0 You’ll intuitively know when it’s done.\u00a0 Won’t you?!<\/p>\n

This recipe serves 8 people, at about 200 calories per serving, depending upon which kind of cheeses you opted for.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
