As an entree - baked and stuffed
Slice a squash in half, drizzle it with olive oil and fill it with a rice pilaf, lentil salad, or just about anything. Here's a few recipes to try:
  • Baked stuffed squash with beans (pictured)
  • Barley stuffed squash
  • Quinoa stuffed squash

  • As a simple side...
    Squash, whether fresh or frozen, makes a healthy side dish, and is easy going down for those picky eaters who don't like to eat their vegetables.
  • Sweet and salty butternut squash (pictured)
  • Simple butternut casserole
  • Lentil and spaghetti squash casserole

  • ...and as a soup, of course!
    In my opinion, a simple homemade squash soup is right up there with chocolate chip cookies and a crisp white wine as far as life's little pleasures go. There's just no substitute for homemade, when it comes to fresh squash soups. Here's a few to try:
  • Squash and carrot soup
  • Apple and butternut squash soup
  • Pumpkin sweet potato soup (pictured)
  • Easy pumpkin and coconut soup
