baked squash

I am going to go ahead and share the recipe for stuffed squash. Ours in coming in fast and yours may be too. This is a delicious way to use the smaller ones. YUMMY

6 small to medium squash
2-3 cups ritz crackers, crumbled
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 small onion chopped fine
1/2 sweet bell pepper chopped fine
3 tablesoppns mince parsley
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
parmesan cheese, or cheese of choice for topping

Wash and cut off ends of squash, DO NOT PEEL. Cook squash in boiling, salted water for 5-6 minutes or longer if you want them real tender. Cut in half lengthwise adn remove pulp with a spoon. Put the shells in a baking dish.
Combine pulp, cracker crumbs, cheese, onion, peppers, parsley, salt, pepper, and the beaten eggs. Mix lightly and fill the shells with mixture and dot with butter. Sprinkle with more cheese of your choice and bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

These are so good my mouth is watering right now, sorry for all the water on the page, but I just love these. Let me know if you try it and what you think. Ya' know, if you like them as well as I do. Oh, yeah!!!

Here's another recipe you may want to try. Take any assortment of vegetables you like. (For example, tonite we used, from our garden, baby potatoes, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, green peppers, onions. We've also used frozen brussels sprouts, tomatoes, eggplant, etc.)

Anyway, wash the vegetables, then chop them into bite-size pieces. Take a regular bread pan (you can cover it with aluminum foil for easier clean-up), spread the vegetables in a single layer on it. Then drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with whatever spices you like (just plain salt and pepper, to any herbs you like.) Bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and cooked through. (Cooks faster when you cut the pieces smaller; if you cut into larger pieces, it can take 15-20 minutes.) It is delicious!
