This is great I normally make zucchini bread but I decided to make a substation
Squash Bread
Estimated Times:
Ingredients
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/3 cups yellow squash grated
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon ground
Directions
Mix together eggs and sugar in a bowl; mix until thick. Stir in oil, vanilla, and grated yellow squash mix until blended-well. Fold in flour, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon; stir until completely mixed. Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake in350 degree oven for 40 minutes, or until the bread is done. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove and complete cooling on a wire rack.
This sounds yummy PB, I'll be trying this soon.
BTW, a little secret to keeping any bread you make nice and moist(zucchini, bananna etc) is to wrap it in tin foil while still warm. (I usually let cool about 10 minutes only) Then I place it in a zip lock freezer bag. Works like a charm.
PB,
Do you peel the squash before you grate it?

My wife told me that next year I have to plant a seperate garden for my squash plants....This year I'm growing 4 different hybrid squash and they ahve overtaken virtually everything else.....
Ok, so this is not a true pickle recipie, but the result is a delicious variety that tastes great on bugers, or alone....
2C Zucchini 1/4" thin slices
1 medium red onion, thin sliced
1C sugar
1/2 C vinegar
1t salt
1/2 t mustard seed
1/4 t celery seed
1/4t tumeric

Thats nothing......I've got some very "unconventional" burger ideas that would probably turn most away....
Try a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter, melted atop a buffalo burger, covered by 2 slices of aged swiss cheese....

Go ahead, lrd. Pay no attention to NDD. I tried to start a discussion about dinners with friends and he thought it sounded like a cover for an orgy ! LOL !!
Gee whiz ! Maybe we should just send him back to the 'bear pit'.??

I was going to post my great-aunt Vera's Prize-Winning Southern Squash Cassarole, but the picture in my mind's eye seemed a little too close the image of mp's squash relish on "bugers." :D

Ok, let's get serious. There's a new Mod for this forum and he might be tough. LOL
Squash.
What they did was slice it and soak it in butter milk, then saute with onion in a little butter (not margarine) until a nice golden brown. Then add a little water and cover and let it finish cooking au vapor. Didn't peel it, just knock off the ugly parts.
Delicious!
Here you go, copied directly from her own hand:
Great-Aunt Vera's Prize-Winning Squash Parmesan
8 medium yellow squash, sliced
1 med-lg onion, coarsely chopped
2 slices of bread or toast
1/2 cup milk (buttermilk is best, but sweet milk will do)
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 egg
pepper and paprika to taste
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
6 soda crackers
Combine squash & onion in a small amount of water, cover, and cook until barely half done. Drain, reserving liquor. Soak bread in the liguor.
Mash together squash, onion, and bread. Add milk, salt, egg, cheddar cheese, butter, pepper and paprika. If mixture is too soupy, add 2-3 crushed crackers.
Pour into greased shallow baking dish and sprinkle liberally with parmesan cheese. Top with buttered crushed cracker crumbs, and bake at 375 F for about 45 minutes, until brown and slightly dry.
Aunt Vera gave this to me after I gave her a copy of one of my first recipes: Orange Milk.
Shake together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup milk, a drop of vanilla extract, and a bit of sugar.
:p
BTW...I never did get her to tell me what prize she won.
lrd, that sounds fabulous. What is sweet milk, is that like condensed milk in the can?

Sweet milk is what you find in the plastic jugs at the grocery store.

I rarely bake with sweet milk. Buttermilk is made from skim milk, so is lowfat, but has a richer flavor than sweet milk. One note though: buttermilk has a higher amount of lactic acid, if you're senstive.

Pssssssst ! Gypsy - I would have had to ask the same thing about "sweet milk". I think it must be a southern thing. Up here, milk is milk, and anything with an adjective in front of it is not plain old milk. But that's just in these parts ;)

RC Let me put it another way, ladies: originally, butter milk was what you had after the butter was churned out. (Get it? the butter milk?) :p
I know folks who won't drink sweet milk, but they'll use it to cook. I'm of the other persuasion...
(Is this like the grits thing...are you all deliberately misunderstanding? :D )
