Sautee it in a little olive oil and sprinkle with parm cheese. It's also good mixed with other steamed veggies ( steam the squash too) then add some veggie seasonings, like mc cormick...it's a nice change.
This is the only way I will eat squash...it's fattening but it's sooo good and you can modify it a little to make it low-carb. I don't know the measurements by heart but here's the basics...
Yellow squash, steamed until just tender (I steam them with some onions sauteed in olive oil)
Cream of mushroom soup
Sour cream
Shredded cheese
Crumbled and cooked sausage
Any boxed stuffing mix, moistened with melted butter (I use the fake-butter that's supposed to lower your cholesterol)
Cook squash, mix with other ingredients except stuffing mix, put in casserole dish, sprinkle stuffing mix on top, bake uncovered until top is browned. Not sure what temp, but it's really hard to mess it up, I've even forgotten about it for like 30 minutes and it wasn't burned.

The yellow squash you talked about, would that be summer squash? Usually sold with the zucchini? If so, then no it does not have to be peeled, actually the peel is the best part. My favorite way of eating summer squash is to cut it into circles (like you would a cucumber), steam it and serve with butter and salt or wrap in aluminum foil with some butter (or butter subsitute) and bake it in the oven.
Some other squashes that I love are spaghetti and butternut. The way I prepare spaghetti squash is to cut it in half the long way, spoon out the seeds, fill a sauce pan with a few inches of water, boil the water, put the squash skin side up in the pan, cover it and cook until tender. The squash is stringy like spaghetti and just needs to be scraped out of the skin. It can be eaten plain with butter and salt or can be used in place of regular spaghetti pasta. YUM!
Butternut squash, I peel, cut in half the long way, spoon out the seeds, cut into large cubes, boil until tender, drain, and mash with a little brown sugar. VERY YUMMY!
i like to make yellow summer squash like this.. it's easy, not too fattening and really good. you can do almost any veggie this way (brussel sprouts, halved, are amazing like this!!), and vary the spices however you like.
preheat the oven to 425. throw all of this in an oven-proof dish and mix it up:
- a few chopped (not too small, or you can slice them in thinner rounds) squash
- a half an onion, chopped
- a healthy dose of minced or pressed garlic (i use ALOT )
- olive oil
- kosher salt, rosemary and thyme to taste
cover lightly with foil and cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is tender but not too soggy. when finished, add a few grinds of pepper. yum!

hello. i wanted to tell you how i cook squash. i make it 2 different ways. the first is the easiest. (these receipes are for yellow squash)
1) Boiled Squash
wash & slice squash (removing the ends)
dice some onion (white, yellow...doesn't matter) to personal taste
add squash & onion, salt & pepper (to taste) into a pot
add enough water to cover the veggies....boil
boil until tender
*you can also add a dab of butter/margarine to taste
__________________________________________________
2)Squash Casserole (this has been made in my family for all holiday meals since i can remember :0)
**this receipe will make a medium to large casserole**
Preheat oven to 350'
you will need:
6 med-large squash
1 med yellow onion
1 egg
6 saltine crackers
1 large block of cheddar cheese (sharp, mild,it doesn't matter)
splash of milk
salt & pepper (to taste)
wash & slice squash (remove ends)
dice onion
grate all of the cheese
mix all of the squash, onion, egg, crackers, milk, salt & pepper, & most of the cheese (leave approx. 1/4 of the cheese out of the mixture. this cheese will go on top)
pour the mixture into the casserole dish
top with the remaining cheese
bake at 350' ***UNCOVERED** until the cheese on the top of the casserole is melted & a medium shade of brown (approx. 40 min)
i looooooooooove that casserole. i can sit down & eat it by itself. i even like it cold. hahaha
well...i hope that wasn't to confuseing. i am abit sleepy. so...if you have any questions...just ask.
hmmm...i can not tell you an exact amount of milk...it is literally a splash...you can add anywhere from 1 t to 2 T
i don't have an exact measurement. jsut open the milk go over to the bowl & pour a "splash" into the bowl. hahahaha
as for the cheese...i am going to guess & say more along the 16oz. block of cheese. you can use less cheese if you want...but the casserole will not hold together as well.
if you have any more questions...feel free to ask.
Well I made Squash for the first time in my life. And it turned out really good. I just cut it, put in a half of onion, some garlic, a little butter and salt/pepper and baked while my chicken was baking.
My dh (who said that he did not like squash) even liked it!!
Thanks!
I am going to try out some of these other ways soon!
