Food Friday - Squash recipes

I'm sure most of you who have gardens have an excess of squash right about now. Seems like you can't wait until you pick your first one from the garden, but it doesn't take too long to get tired of having them. My husband says, "cook them every night, so they won't go bad." He doesn't seem to realize that kids (and I) get tired of having them every night. So we have had squash casseroles, fried squash, squash bread, squash patties and squash cubes/tomatoes and onions. But, it hasn't worked - I am getting tired of eating squash!

I have a couple of recipes to share with you:

Squash Cubes/Tomato and Onions

Squash Cubes/Tomato and Onions

1 or 2 squash
1 onion sliced
2 tomatoes peeled and chopped
2 T. butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp sugar

Boil the whole unpeeled squash in water for 15 to 20 minutes (until just tender). Cut into 1" cubes. While the squash is cooking, melt butter in skillet, add onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes and add tomatoes and cook over low heat, covered for 5 minutes. Add cubed squash,  salt, sugar and pepper and cook over low heat, stirring ocassionally, for 15 minutes.

Squash Patties

 Squash Patties

1 cup Bisquick
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1/8 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded or finely chopped squash
2 T. chopped onion
1 T. butter

Combine Bisquick, cheese,  salt, eggs, squash and onion in a mixing bowl. Blend well. Melt butter in a large skillet. Spoon heaping tablespoons of squash mixture into skillet. Fry for 3 - 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Enjoy your squash!
