Thank you -- I am really trying to expand my foods yanno -- I bought a butternut squash and I am gonna cook it up and give it a try. I did eggplant last week - bought it - never used it lol

i adore squash! just this morning i bought some butternut squash. im planning to make a zero point soup this afternoon. (im following weightwatchers plan )

Can you share the recipe?

that is one gorgeous squash, the Jaradale. You all have me decided to amble over to the farmer's market here and make a curry squash soup for dinner tonight. I don't roast it that often at all, I don't know why. I love squash.

the seeds roasted are great to put on top of salads.

I had a lot of yellow summer squash from my garden, I sliced it and tossed in ziplock bags in the freezer, I toss it in soups.

I also pickled a bunch, big ole round slices of dill squash, only need one for a burger.

I did a post recently with a recipe for Kabocha squash cooked in light coconut milk... you can also make any squash into a curry and it is fantastic!

wish I knew how to cook squash like that. I mean, like what to put it in, how to chop it, how to actually cook it. I would love to expand my tastebuds to some squash, I wish I could try a bit of someones to know if I'd like it. Hee hee!

I love butternut squash soup and spaghetti squash with marinara sauce. Both are quite filling.

I use a lot of plain ole yellow summer squash, I call it crook neck squash in all kinds of stuff, I toss it in as filler in spaghetti sauce, in any casserole, in any potato dish, in soup, stew, slice it the long way and grill it, cube it and kebob it, this squash is a lot like zucchini in flavor and texture.

For some of the other squash, it depends, some are more like pumpkin, they make a great comfort soup, cook, blend, add some spices and have something like a pumpkin pie soup, yum. Some are better baked with pepper and that type of seasoning.

My Grandma used to take some kind, I can't remember and bake it with a big batch of onions and it was great.

Of course my mil makes the best breaded and deep fat fried zucchini you will ever eat. To bad it's not fattening.

What I've discovered, it's like all cooking, experiment. You never know what you'll come up with!

So you cook one squash and it's yuk, it's only one. Learn from it and try it again.:D

Guess I need to call my 90+ year old grammas and get their old recipes! I still have 2 and dh has one, should come up with some good ones.

By the by, I pickled some of my yellow squash, turned out great!
