    What kind of squash? Summer squash? Winter squash?

    Summer squashes (zucchini, yellow) or winter squashes (butternut, acorn, etc.?)

    I like to use butternut squash and roasted red pepper to make a pasta sauce.

    Summer squash sliced brush with olive oil salt and pepper and brown on the grill. Be carful this recipe is highly addictive.

    Winter squash (acorn) .....Squash Soup remove seeds roast squash in oven until fork tender. remove from skin place squash in a sauce pan add 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper and 1 cup milk. heat over low heat while mixing with an immersion blender. Serve hot.

    Sounds yummy, will try! ...I've heard if you have to buy zucchini, then you have no friends. Lol I know this as my mom used to grow zucchini, and she had to give so much away, it produced so much! I moved to AZ and have to buy some zucchini for this recipe, I guess I have no friends :) At least, none who grow zucchini! (maybe it can't grow here?)
