Currently, our squash and cucumber plants are engaged in battle. Each one wants to dominate the garden, but only one will win. This year, I believe it will be the cucumbers. However, we are still left with many delicious yellow squashes, but have frankly become bored with the same old recipes. Steamed squash. Grilled squash. Baked squash. We’ve had each countless times this summer and we are in desperate need of new recipes, as there are about a dozen squashes in need of eating at any given time (free squash to the first ten takers!)

So, Green Mansions Foundation has spent the morning looking up new and creative ways to consume said squash. Here are a few of the tastiest-sounding recipes we could find. We’ll let you know how they turn out. Any suggestions?

Paula Deen’s Southern-Style Squash Casserole Recipe - mmm, loads of butter and a cracker crust. We don’t think we can go wrong with this one.

Squash and Onions and Brown Sugar – Sweet and simple.

Smothered Yellow Squash with Basil – Combines two of our favorite garden plants! Plus, this recipe uses olive oil instead of butter.

Summer Squash Bread Recipe - A twist on the traditional zucchini bread. Add pecans for sweet crunchiness.
