I was given nearly 50 yellow squash starts for my garden, and as a result, I have had an abundance of yellow squash for much of the summer. Here's what I have done with it so far:

- dehydrated into squash chips
- dredged in flour, salt and herbs and fried
- sauteed in oil with tomatoes, white beans, carmelized onion, garlic, bell pepper, etc.
- Boiled with potatoes and cauliflower and mashed into "mashed potatoes"
- Roasted with potatoes, carrots and bell pepper
- Grilled on the grill
- Julianned into a squash/carrot/radish salad
- chopped into lettuce salad
- shredded and in baked into muffins and pancakes
- added to soup
- added ti spaghetti sauce
- peeled into strips for a pasta-like dish
- given to family, friends, and neighbors :shifty (true story - a neighbor refused to take my gift of squash, saying "We can't eat those. My husband is diabetic." :hunh)

I think the only thing I haven't done yet is stuffed them, and that's only because I haven't let them get that big. :shrug Anything else I've missed?

I read that in a Bubba Gump voice. :shifty "Shrimp salad....shrimp cocktail...."

I LOVE fresh garden squash, I would totally take some off your hands if I were close. I have some sitting on my counter form the farmers market, thanks for the ideas!

I remembered another way we've eaten them - shredded and mixed into meatloaf.

My mom says I'm going to get squash poisoning... :shifty
