Can you tell I like squash?
Seriously, I LOVE squash. I can even remember when my love for each kind of squash started.
Ahh, spaghetti squash. My first squash. When I was in high school, Dad baked it and then served it with butter and parmesan cheese. Mmm...still eating it that same way.
The first time I remember eating zucchini was grilled on the barbeque. I think I was in high school for this one too. Now I usually just saute it in a little bit of olive oil with some salt. Dee-licious!
I had my first butternut squash this spring. I loved it immediately. I actually remember thinking, "How have I made it to 27 without having tried this?" So nutty and sweet, butternut squash is perfect just mashed up with some margarine.
Acorn squash: this one is easy to remember because I cooked my first acorn squash tonight. I was almost nervous to eat it because I didn't want to not like it. Well, it was delicious. Very similar to Butternut, but not as sweet.I don't know if I've ever loved any food SO HEALTHY this much. Squash is high in beta-carotene, fibre, vitamin C, and all kinds of other good stuff. Oh, and 0 fat and low in calories! And so yummy!

My husband does not like squash or zucchini unfortunately but I love them both. But I've only just started cooking this past year and don't know the tastiest way to prepare them...that's what practice is for I suppose.
It's because of you that I still eat sauteed zucchini.
Butternut is also a big fav in our house. At least with me and the small fry.
