 :)  Several years ago,  I had dinner at a cousins and she served a baked dish with squash, onions, and tomatoes with cheese on top.  There might have been some other stuff but that's what I remember-----it was real tasty.

Well,  we have onions and squash in our garden and soon will have tomatoes so I told my wife to find out how to make that stuff.  She can't find a similar recipe.

Do any of you have a recipe like that?

Might be fun to hear your favorite way to fix squash 8)

My favorite way to eat yellow squash is stewed with onions.   I could eat 2 or 3 pounds a day.  ;D

I googled this casserole recipe that has tomatoes.

Slice them into rounds, batter the rounds with House Autry Chicken Breader, and fry the little rascals :).

However, we usually eat them like Toms says, stewed with onions. 

Noble, I cannot help you with the squash/tomato recipe, but I am game to try something like that because it sounds good!

Not only is this my favorite squash recipe, it's my favorite vegetable recipe.  You can use any combination of vegetables that you'd like, (including green beans, tomato, mushrooms, or zucchini, etc.) but get most of the pieces the same size as the other vegetables.  I cut mine into about 1 inch sections. 

3-4 potatoes (white, red, yukon or sweet potatoes) peeled & chopped
1 acorn or butternut squash, peeled seeded & chopped
1 onion chopped
1 cup of baby carrots or 1 large carrot chopped
1 cup of brussel sprouts
1/2 cup walnut or olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, crushed or chopped
a few sprigs of chopped rosemary and thyme
salt & pepper  (red pepper puts a zing in it)

Mix the oil with the garlic and herbs, and toss in all the vegetables to coat them.  Put vegetables in oven proof casserole dish and season with salt & pepper.  Bake in oven at 350 or 400 for about 45 minutes or until fork tender.

Thanks all,

Lorax,  that sounds like what I was looking for,  but I'm anxious to try Roxie's as well.  I am already experienced eating them off the grill and stewed with onions ;D

My wife fixes acorn squash by halving them,  scooping out the seeds,  and baking them with butter and brown sugar on them.  You eat them out of the shell :)

I am a simple man.  Slice the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, cover with plastic wrap loosely, microwave for 7 minutes.  Fill seed hollow with fresh butter, pepper to taste. 
I am partial to acorn squash but I have yet to meet a squash I did not like.

Yeah, simple for me to. Only I peel and seed them and dice them up to microwave a cupful with each meal. Well, how much do you think one guy can eat along with the other stuff rounding up the plate? ;D

Sounds like some interesting recipes being written up.


About the only other way I've ate squash was in pie, like pumpkin.

Kinda funny the way this thread is going.  Down here, when squash is mentioned, we usually think of Yellow Crook Neck or straight neck first.   We have to be reminded that there are some others.  :D

Tom, you've got to get out and experience more of the world's cuisine  :)

I do pretty good, OWW.  It's just what comes across one's mind first.

We are straight neck people :).  Getting a bunch this year, too.  It probably has to do with the heat.  Straight neck and crook necked do well here.  I guess you like what you can grow well in your climate.  I do like lobster, though ;D.

If there is one thing I have always overplanted, it was yellow squash.  Two plants of straight or crooked neck yellow squash will  feed a family, all their animals and most of their relatives.   I always seemed to plant at least 10,    :-\   I don't know why.   ???

My son planted a half row of summer squash this year in the first garden he's ever planted.

I asked him if he knew why folks started locking their car doors after the 1st of July.  :D

We used to take yellow summer squash, esp. if they got a little big, cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the innards, boil or steam the shells, and build a pizza on top of 'em. Sneaky way to get kids to eat their veggies.
I hope my ship comes in before the dock rots!

Gael fixes Squash like that for me sometimes, and all this time I thought she was making me something special.  :D :D

Was that the reason for the "Special Ed" classes?   :D

What's all this talk of "crooked necked" squash? Those words are only spoken about the roadside traffic that slows down and looks in on a working man in his fields or working on a building. Heaven forbid if your daughters are working/helping you with the task, like wood splitting or rock picking.  :D :D
