How do you like to cook your summer squash?

Sorry I can't help here. Squash is one item I really don't like and neither does my husband so I don't make it. I always thought it was fried in a pan but what do I know! Your recipe sure does sound tempting.

with the yellow squash, boil it with onions until soft and most of the water is gone and then fry it lightly - just a little scorch is fine - not burned, but needs a little bit of browning

Dehydrate it to make squash chips. They make a really good snack. I do it in my car on a sunny day. Slice the squash and salt it lightly (remember that it shrinks when it dries, so you don't want too much salt on it), then cover a flat pan or screen of some sort and put the squash on that. Put it in the car where it will get some sunshine (but direct sun isn't necessary as long as it's hot). Open one of the front windows an inch or so and one of the back ones the same way, to allow for the humidity to escape. It takes anywhere from 8 to 12 hours to dehydrate a tray. If you decide you want to make up enough to last into the winter, store it in a glass jar with a good, tight lid. It's one of my favorite ways to eat yellow squash.

Well I do believe you have it covered. I have always baked it but as you said when it's too hot that is not an option. I sure wish I were there I love squash!!! I'd have no problem staying for supper lol.

Hey Writer, I have 2 favorite ways. Both can be done in the microwave. The first is the most simple... 1. cut the zucchini or yellow squash in half length wise. put in a Microwave dish and sprinkle it with garlic salt. Then sprinkle a good layer of parmesan cheese on top. I cook it till it's still a little crisp, maybe 2 min. The second is to slice in thick slices and layer the casserole dish with zucchini, then a layer of sliced onion and a layer of sliced tomatoes and top with parmesan and then mozzarella or any cheese you like. Don't forget the garlic salt. And again don't cook till mushy. Hope that helps. leenie

I usually just saute mine in olive oil usually with garlic and zucchini and sometimes onion and other vegetables like carrots,mushrooms and or eggplant.

Even in summer, I love soups...and squashes make wonderful soups! Therefore, being lazy, like I am, I will make a soup, and eat it for days! I also like all forms of squashes in a stir fry! Yum..yum! Sadly enough, my squashes were NOT great this year...as we had a HUGE heat wave (110+) very unusual for here, and the squash season ended fast. There is a dilemna here right now...as they are harvesting the pumpkins (6 weeks early) and trying to figure out how to keep them til Hallowe'en! Great tomato, pepper year..not peas, beans, squashes, or salad greens! Cheers!

Since no one in my house really likes it but me & you didn't mention wich type of squash you had I'll just tell you what I do. I usually like to eat it raw or in a salad w/ some dressing for yellow or zucchini. Or I shred zucchini and make it into chocolate chip zucchini bread. Or I just plain hide it in meals we make... like I boil it & puree it and hide it in spaghetti sauce or in the cream of chicken base in my chicken pot pie. Sorry bout your freezer issues!
