Onion squash, harequin, acorn, butternut etc.......WOW How did I not discover these sooner in life, totally addicted at the moment, boil em bash em...soup them roast them......What flipping ever tastes brill every which way. This afternoon I was on a food prepare marathon as I work shifts, roasted with a little fry light my harlequin squash, once cooked I scooped out the flesh for mash, then cut the skin and remaining flesh into strips. Quick spray again with fry light, a little salt, plenty of fresh ground black pepper and some milled garlic granules, back in the oven untill crispy edges.....Low fat hummus to accompany them, yeah a really yummy low cal snack.

One wonders fellow MFP'ers how long does the squash season last?? xxxx

    We plant squash in the summer time. So our fresh from the garden season is over here . We have planted now our winter garden with spinach, collard greens and broccoli, green onions(which could be year round) and garlic. I have squash casserole for my lunch today. When we pick we cook it and eat some. The rest we put in the freezer so we have some thru the winter. It is wonderful. Squash casserole is also wonderful when you add crab meat in it.

    I started out by cooking pumpkin and then started cooking squash the same way :bigsmile: I used to freeze pumpkin to make pies. Now I serve it as a vegetable just like squash :bigsmile:
