Choose any spices you may like. Throw out the zucchini and squash!

Onions, peppers, diced tomatoes, dill weed, parsley. for the zucchini

Cut the squash in half and load up with lots of brown sugar and real butter.

i dont eat peppers,onions or toms..

as for kind of squash.. i dunno.. yellow kind?

I would slice them about 1/2 inch thick.
Hit them with a little bit of fresh ground pepper, and STEAM them for just a few minutes. Do not overcook!
Then drizzle a small amount of the oil on the slices just before serving.

Mmmmm, just the way I like 'em! (Oh, but add a bit of salt, too)

Synthetic or Dino? What Viscoscity?

Ron

A little sprinkle of ginger & nutmeg. Black pepper (or white if you can't digest black pepper), loads of butter. Steam the squash and zuchini--just enough to make them tender--not squishy.

Does anyone have any sudgestions that involve frying or possibly boiling? ...I don't know much bout squash and we don't have very much to work with...

OK here's how I fry my squash

Mix some flour, 1 egg, some seasoned salt, some pepper, some corn meaI and some water to get the batter the texture of pancake batter. Dip squash into the batter and fry in a pan of aobut an inch of hot oil (I use canola) till the a light brown and crispy. ENJOY you can also slice up some onion rings and do them too. Man I'm hungry now for some fried squash

Yeah, keep it simple. salt, onions, butter. Maybe a little cracked pepper.

Lemon Pepper.

I'm guessing you mean the yellow summer squash that looks a bit like a zucchini but as a fatter end and skinnier end instead of being a plain tube....

At any rate: take some extra light extra virgin olive oil, mix in some basil and oregano.

Dip the sliced up zucchini/summer squash in the herbed oil, then grille on the george foreman or similar.

After they are done, drizzle a very little bit of balsalmic vinegar over them, I like the ones that have the 4-medals on the label (number of medals effects the flavor)

Done.... and tasty too

mmm.. will try 2-3 of these.. but prolly fri.. got lazy and cooking up a packaged skillet instead.. yep.. lazy Funks..

I can't believe nobody has suggested...


BACON!

More seriously, steaming is probably best IMO. Overcooking results in, well, that's why they call it "Squash". Lightly steamed, it's good. And I HATE squash.

Mt.Dew?

Cut it, bread it, dip it egg and milk and bread it and stir fry it.

Melanie does one where she cuts, boils it cuts it up and mashes it with maple syrup and butter.

I like that way.

For the Zuke, italian bread crumbs. Cut it in slices, dip in a egg wash and bread it with italian bread crumbs. Fry in oil on both sides and then salt to taste. They are good that way.
