I love me some squash. I buy it like crazy in season at the FM and freeze what I don't use quickly.

Whatever you don't use to cook this weekend- wash, dry, slice, and freeze. it defrosts a bit mushy, but fine for most recipes.

While you have it fresh, slice, batter, s&p, then fry until crispy. Cook twice what you think b/c in my house it disappears off the plate while cooking batches.

Another good way to use it is stewed. Put a small pot on with water & chopped onion and chopped ham or hamhock. When the onion is soft, add the squash and cook until tender. For variation and color, you could add a zucchini. Add s&p.

I don't have the recipe, but my mama makes squash casserole for me twice a year. It has cream soups, onion, pepperidge farm bread crumbs, and cheese. Very filling.

I used this one........except I added a teaspoon of brown sugar (I omitted the nutmeg).

Ingredients

* 1 butternut squash, peeled
* Nutmeg
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* Salt and pepper
* 1 onion, chopped
* 6 cups chicken stock

Directions

Cut squash into 1-inch chunks. In large pot melt butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add squash and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until squash is tender. Remove squash chunks with slotted spoon and place in a blender and puree. Return blended squash to pot. Stir and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Serve.
