How to prepare yellow summer squash?!
My daughter asked me to buy some yellow summer squash at the supermarket while shopping the other day!. I bought some and am not sure how to prepare or cook it!. The only way I have ever had it was pureed like sweet potatoes!. I am looking for another way to cook it different!. Can it be sliced and baked or what would you all recommend!? also do I have to peel it first and take the seeds out!? I have only bought the bagged ones and never fresh like this time!.

Answers:
because i planted summer squash seeds in the spring, i have plently of yellow squash and have been eating a lot of it lately!.
what i do is wash them throughly and cut it in rounds fairly thin!. then i boil them for about 20 minutes, depending on how thick they are cut, until they're tender!. i serve them with lots of butter!. its a great side dish for chicken!.
for leftovers, how about squash soup!?
you'll need:
- cooked summer squash
- chicken stock
- about 1/4 cup of water (all measurements depend on how much squash is left)
- a little cream
- salt
- pepper
- nutmeg
- parsley
-olive oil
- parmesan cheese
in a soup pot, combine squash, chicken stock, water!. bring to a simmer!. in a food processor or blender, puree until smooth!. add back to hot pot over medium heat!. add a little cream and spices!. simmer for about 10 minutes!.
to serve: ladle into bowls and garnish with drizzle of olive oil, parmesan and parsley!.
enjoy!

I don't know if you mean butternut squash or Yellow (like w/ the zucchini) The yellow like zucchini- Don't have to peel or seed I slice it in half put a lil olive oil salt and pepper on it and roast it on a baking sheet at 400 for about 12mins (turn it so both sides brown a bit) The butternut squash- cut in half take seeds out, put like 1Tbs butter in each hole of the squash, a lil s&p, and sprinkle about 1Tbs brown sugar in each hole!. Bake for about 1 hr (or longer) at 375Www@FoodAQ@Com
Slice in half, add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 stick butter or margarine to the center of the squash!. Do this after cleaning out the seeds creating a hole to put the new ingredients into!. Bake for 45 min at 375* with them covered with foil shiny side out!. Serve still with skins on and enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You do not need to peel it!. Slice it into coins, slice up an onion, toss together, cover with foil, bake at 350 for 30 minutes, uncover, add a few hand fulls of cubed velveeta, toss back in the oven uncovered till the cheese is melted!. It's delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
