NEEDED: Recipes for cooking squash/zuccini?
OH MY LORD, DH's garden is in full bloom and producing a ton of veggies. We have about 40-50 yellow and green squash plants plus a ton of radishes, onions and jalepenoes (sp).
Can ya'll help me with some squash reicpes. I have always cooked it fried or in water sliced up with onions, salt and pepper...but shoot you can only eat so much of it one way. I need a small deep freezer to put all this in.
If anyone is close to Chilton County come on down and get ya some veggies PLEASE! LOL!
