Good Squash Recipes

Hi, All!

I'm just looking for some good recipes for the preparation of squash.

I have a friend who is a farmer, and I just got a lot of Acorn and Butternut Squash from him. So, what are some simple things that I can do with them to prepare them for meals?

From my experience, squash doesn't seem to have all that much taste unless you add some things to it.

I'm not very much of a fancy guy when it comes to meal preparation. But, all submissions are welcome!

Thanks!

my aunt got me into squash. i never ate it when i was little because my mother hated all vegetable and vegetable-like things. and then told me i hated them too. lol butternut squash is my favorite so far. but it's fun to try others.

Hi Again, All!

What about the difference between using a microwave versus a conventional oven to prepare the squash?

Do you think one is better to use for preparing them by heating, cooking, baking, etc.?

Thanks!

when i'm using a fresh squash, i like the oven. but if i'm hurrying, i'll get the little bags of already but up squash and microwave it.

Hi, justcurious55!

So, are you saying the your preference for preparing the squash is really to use the oven, if that's possible?

For example, to you, does it taste better to use the oven?

Thanks!

i don't like it when i gets mushy. and even an extra 30 seconds in my microwave can over do it. the oven takes longer, but i'm able to watch it better and keep it from getting mushy. so yeah, i guess it tastes better.

I am looking forward to trying different squash this fall. I always wanted to try spaghetti squash to sometimes substitute it for pasta. You can microwave it a bit, but for best results finish it off in the oven if you can. I have prepared it in a pot of boiling water and in the oven, depends on the texture you want. I have read some people grilling it too.

I hadn't considered the texture thing. Thanks to both of you for pointing that out!

Clough have you started preparing any of the squash yet? I would love to see photos, as it is getting cooler by the minute down south and all I'm thinking about these days is squash recipes and eggnog!!

Hi, Golden_Girl!

No, I haven't prepared any of it yet, but I do plan to, soon!

Squash lasts for quite awhile if it hasn't been cut yet.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's one of the great things with them. They last long and remain fresh.
