Roasted Zucchini & Yellow Squash Ricotta Cheese Sourdough Crispbreads

Daily Tidbit: I haven't always been the world's biggest fan of Yellow Squash, but I found out a way to cook it that is super yummy - Roasting!  I love how easy it is too:  slice, brush with Oil, season with Salt and roast at 425 until slightly browned.  It made for a super satisfyingly sweet sandwich with Ricotta Cheese on a couple Sourdough Crispbreads (pictured above) today. 

Yellow Squash is good for your heart, colon, prostate, eyes and bones; is low Calorie and Vitamin rich - so enjoy!  Check it out:

Zucchini Chickpea Curry Recipe:

This is a variation of Cooking Light's Chickpea Curry I made last week, here:

http://whatamyatetoday.blogspot.com/2013/01/mon-jan-14th.html

But here is the recipe of the Zucchini Chickpea Curry I made: 

Heat Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Add 1 tbsp Canola oil to pan; swirl to coat.  Add 2 Zucchini, diced and 1/2 Yellow Squash, diced and saute 5 minutes or until beginning to brown a little.  Stir in 1 tsp Yellow Curry and cook for a couple minutes.  Add 1 can Chickpeas (rinsed/ drained), 1 cup of Organic No Salt Added Marinara, & 4 oz fresh Spinach; cook 2 minutes or until Spinach wilts, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup Low Fat Plain Yogurt. 

Loved this; super Yummy!
