SQUASH

Squash should be stored at 45 degrees F. with 75% humidity. Will keep 2 to 6 months depending on variety.

Grated summer squash makes a good substitute for carrots in a carrot cake.

Add yellow and zucchini squash to your next vegetable tray.
Sliced or grated raw squash can be a wonderful addition to your favorite salad.

Marinate and grill it on the grill what a great taste.
Squash can be used to make great tasting casseroles or in fast stir fry.

Try adding some of your favorite seasonings (dill, lemon juice or lemon pepper, Creole, chili powder) to summer squash that has been steamed, sautéed, or grilled.

Try cooking several varieties of summer squash together. This will make a colorful side dish.
