...though it isn't really soup season, is it? How the heck are your squash ready already? LOL. I'm growing butternut for the first time and a female flower hasn't even opened up yet. You must have had a much warmer spring in PA than we did in the Toronto area. I couldn't get my warm weather veggies in the ground until after Memorial Day.
Back to recipe ideas, though... another thing I like to do with squash is cook it and mash it. You can add butter, cream cheese, seasonings... you pretty much can't go wrong; it's delicious. To cut the carb count, mix in cauliflower.

Thanks! That's a great way to cut the carb count, I never would have thought of that! It has been lovely and warm here. I put my tomatoes in the ground mid-April, with the help of Wall-O-Waters. They are so worth the money and I will definitely use them every year. My Acorn squash developed, but I may have picked them too early, they are small. But I did that so I. Could cut down on portion size and encourage the plant to produce more.
My chickens. "Planted" a (left a seed in the dirt) pumpkin next to my patio and its growing like crazy. I didn't think there would be enough sun, but it has a female flower already. I hope I get a pumpkin, even if it's a small one! Yay a for summer and fresh veggies!
