Question

What is Your favorite type of squash and what do you like to make with it?

Answer 1

Butternut Squash. I put it in almost everything and anything be that a meat or veggie dish.

Answer 2

I like to peel and chop acorn squash, toss it with melted butter and maple syrup, and then roast it in the oven at 350 F until it's soft.  Delicious!!  The peeling and chopping part can be tricky, though.  I use a steak knife to peel it.

Answer 3

Roasted or grill-roasted acorn squash.

Answer 4

I like acorn squash with an amaretto reduction made with amaretto, brown surgar and Cinnamon, so it's almost like a syrup, then bake it.

Answer 5

Summer Squash. I lightly bread it in cornmeal and fry it.

Answer 6

How do you choose between them when each has its own lovely quality and they are not at all the same?

I love the hard shell squashes a lot.

Acorn Squash

Turban Squash,

I adore Buttercup Squash

Blue Hubbard makes me really happy when I can find it  as does

Butternut too.

I make soups with them, pies with them, and also bake cakes and muffins with them.

Additionally, I like to simply cut them in half lengthwise put a pat of butter or Earth Balance in it and sprinkle with nutmeg

and. Black Pepper, Baking at 375 degrees F basting with the melted fat two or three times until tender. Which can be up to 40 minutes to an hour. .

Zucchini and Summer Squash are great in a stir fry or in my Maryland Not Crab Cakes, or Lentil Loaf. I stuff Large Zucchini and I absolutely love my Grandmother's Crook Neck Recipe which is to cut it into tender chunks and cook with Butter or Earth Balance and a small amount of water adding  Tbs. Organic Vegan Sugar or Maple Syrup Sea Salt and freshly cracked Black Pepper to the cooked product, mashing it not so thoroughly as to incorporate all of the skin however, which provides for a lovely textural quality. YUM!

I also use butternut squash in my amazing Carrot Coriander Tofu Quich which I highly recommend. Check out the recipe at
