Baked green beans, squash, and ham is an excellent awakening to spring and summer garden fare. This dish can be eaten by itself or as a side dish to a larger meal. For a vegetarian version, use mushrooms in place of meat. Fresh from the garden or farmers market vegetables are best. Grocery store vegetables will need additional flavor. Freezing doesn't affect fresh vegetable flavor, though they made add water to the pan as they thaw. Vegetable and meat combinations such as this can be chopped and frozen together while fresh. They do not need to be cooked before freezing.
