Summer Squash | 20something cupcakes

I made fried rice once before, and I was very “ehhh” about it.

Loaded {Summer Vegetable} Fried Rice

Now, fried rice is not something to be indifferent about.

No! Fried rice is something to crave. On a bad day, a good day … most definitely a hungover day.

Seriously. This fried rice does it for me. Why? Well, let’s start with the fact that we’re really eating a big bowl of vegetables. I have nothing against eating such things, but other people might – so I know this is a big deal. And as much as I enjoy vegetables, sometimes I’m not exactly satisfied after eating them on their lonesome.

This is a big bowl of vegetables that I’m happy to eat with a hangover. Tell me you’ve got veggies with that going on! No, really – tell me. One can never have too many healthy hangover cures.

Tacos, allow me to introduce you to the classic Argentinean combination of skirt steak and chimichurri.

Skirt Steak + {Summer} Squash Tacos

This isn’t, however, the traditional chimichurri made with parsley that you might be thinking of. This one’s made with arugula and basil – and it’s pretty divine.

Also – we’ve gone ahead and added grilled summer squash to these beauties, up-ing the health factor, and an easy goat cheese crema – which is really just a fancy term for goat cheese mixed with Greek yogurt.

This is one of my favorite meals I’ve made in a while, and it’s so super-simple – and perfect for summer! Cranking up my good ol’ Griddler to its highest heat got me the grill marks I was looking for, and I didn’t have any pots and pans to dirty up in the process since I used it for the meat, the squash, and even the tortillas.
