Need squash ideas!!

Holy cow. Last year, I didn't get one single zucchini or squash in our container garden. This year I decided to go gung-ho in the SFG, and planted several different types of squash. I am overrun- the neighbors don't even want any more. Other than freezing and making zucchini chips in the oven, or dehydrating, what ideas do you have? I am looking at about 30 squash- acorn, scallopini, crookneck, straightneck, and zucchini, with more needing picking soon. Any suggestions? I can't believe the plants are producing so many HUGE veggies! The more I pick, the more they grow....the plants are running out into the lawn- we gave up on mowing in that area.

Re: Need squash ideas!!

  • With the acorn or other more wintery squashes, I'd made soup & freeze it for winter. 

    For the more "summer" squash, there is also zucchini bread (which can also be frozen), fritters (shredding & mixing with a binder like an egg & pan fry), marinated & grilled squash (also good mixed into couscous or quinoa to make a "salad"), thinly sliced or long juliennes to substitute as noodles...

    eta: you can also donate excess produce to a local food bank/homeless shelter.  i'm sure they'd love it.

  • Zucchini pizza Preheat oven to 375 3.5 C Zucchini. Grated with skin and with as much moisture as possible squeezed out. 3 eggs. 1/2 C Parmesan 1/2 C Mozzarella 1/2 C flour (I probably did closer to 3/4 and used whole wheat flour.) Fresh chopped basil Mix all of the above together and press into a 9x13 greased pan. Brush some olive oil on top and throw it under the broiler for a bit if you want to brown it up. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.  Then just put whatever pizza toppings you want on it.
