I love that our garden is giving us an abundance of produce but, let’s face it, it can be pretty boring eating the same ol’ veggies all the time. I finally decided to blanch and freeze some of it before it went bad, but I also don’t want to be limited to a specific way of preparing them since they can get mushy once frozen.
It seems I was in the same quandry last year, and sure enough, I had bookmarked a whole bunch of ideas for using up Summer squash and zucchini. I thought I’d share just in case some of you are looking for some fresh ideas…

What are some of your favorite ways to prepare squash?
I love squash! Thanks for doing all the legwork so I don’t have to!
WOW!! Thanks. My old favorite, not having tried these, is zucchini fritters flavors with Old Bay seasoning – gives it a faux crab cake vibe. Excellent.
