Golden Summer Squash Recipes
SKILLET CROOKNECK SQUASH AND ONIONS
We. Love. Squash. Simple, with only 3 other ingredients, besides salt and pepper, this recipe sets off the delicious, slightly sweet flavor of crookneck or summer squash. Mom used to stew squash, but this vegetable releases a lot of water when it cooks, so I don't add any water. The long, slow cooking helps to release the natural sugars in the onion and the squash. You can add additional herbs or seasonings, if you like, or cook it for less time to make it firmer, but this is how we do it. Just squash.

GOLDEN SUMMER SQUASH
This is a brightly colored, simply prepared summer squash recipe that can be prepared in a matter of minutes, so there is no prolonged sweating over a hot stove! It tastes delicious hot, warm or at room temperature, so you can make it ahead of time without sacrificing any of its quality. This recipe can be expanded into more of a light vegetarian main dish if served over brown rice or barley (or a combination), and topped with the optional pine nuts and cheese. I cut this out of a recent newspaper article.

- Chayote Squash. This lesser known squash originated in Mexico, but it is now grown all over the world. Chayote is low in calories and has a taste similar to that of a cucumber, making it versatile for grilling, sautéing, baking, or using in soups.
- Cousa Squash. This short, squatty squash is lighter in color than zucchini, but can be used the same way. The only difference between the two is cousa is a little sweeter, and has a thinner skin.
- Zucchini. Classic, green zucchini is a year-round staple, but when summer rolls around they're at their peak. Green zucchini has thin skin and firm flesh.
- Yellow Zucchini. Zucchini comes in more than one shade, although green is by far the most common. But yellow zucchini, not to be confused with yellow squash, often makes an appearance at farmers' markets during the summertime.
- Luffa Squash. Luffa squash, also known as (loofah), is an unusual variety of squash that will literally turn into a loofah if given enough time to mature.
- Pattypan Squash. Nope it's not a flying saucer, it's pattypan squash. These uniquely-shaped squashes come in a variety of colors from yellow to green or a mix of the two.
- Round Zucchini. Round zucchini, also known as eight ball zucchini, have the same mild flavor and texture of green zucchini, but with a spherical shape.
- Yellow Crookneck Squash. Yellow squash comes in two varieties: straightneck and crookneck. Crookneck squash (pictured above) has a bulbous bottom and slender neck that's curved at the top.
- Yellow Straightneck Squash. Straightneck squash closely resembles crookneck squash with its tapered neck and bulbous base, but its neck doesn't curve as much, if at all.
- Zephyr Squash. This stunning squash is a hybrid between yellow crookneck, delicata, and yellow acorn squash. It's easy to recognize for its two-tone coloration: light green on the bottom and yellow on top.
