I'm switching up my meals lately with new foods/vegis. I've just recently started buying squash. Does anyone know what meals would go good with squash for a side dish?... or maybe even squash as the main meal?

    squash would be a yummy side for turkey,chicken or roast beef paired with another vegetable ( I like yellow beans).

    Last night I had hungry girl's Chicken cordon bleu with spaghetti squash as a side. I love spaghetti squash, its hard to cut though. Cut it in half lengthwise place rind side down in a baking dish with a little water in it to prevent the rind from burning. Cook on 400 for about 45min to an hour. Or you can cook it in the microwave which is quicker.

    1 1/2 pounds zucchini, cubed (or squash)
    1 cup sliced green onions
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 1/4 teaspoons garlic salt
    1/2 teaspoon basil
    1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 1/2 cups seeded, chopped tomatoes

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the zucchini, green onions, and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender. Season with garlic salt, basil, paprika, and oregano. Mix in the tomatoes. Continue to cook and stir until heated through. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
    Bake uncovered 20 minutes.


    Original recipe has some shredded chedder and rice in it. So that's always an option!

    I love butternut squash soup! Allrecipes.com has one called "Butternut Squash Soup II" that's quite tasty. Happy squashin'!

    Squash stew with almonds and saffron? They serve that at our local tapas place. Really good.

    I make squash soup and risotto, or curry.
