Well now, don't know if this is period, but it's what I do with Zucchini and Summer squash..
Cut into thin rounds
Cut up a golf ball sized onion
In a cast iron pan, melt the butter, add onion and veggies..saute until just translucent. I would say about 10 mins..serve with protein of choice. I like this with a side of peas.

I added pepperoni as my meat. Sliced like meat on pizza.

And of course it always tastes better when it's homegrown!

This time of year I'd rather be outside. We just slice em, spice em, and grill em.

This is a simple squash recipe. Always a good vegetable to serve for supper.

Cut summer squash into small pieces and boil until tender in salted water. Put into a clean towel and wring out all the water. Put squashes into saucepan and add to each cup of them two tablespoons of cream and one half tablespoon of butter. Heat thoroughly before sending to table.

I love yellow squash in any form...although I seem to be an abject failure at producing any actual...produce.

My favorite way to cook it is sliced, layered in a buttered casserole dish with green chilies and grated cheese. Bake until it's cooked down to heavenly sweetness. Learned that one in New Mexico. Here's a pretty typical NM squash recipe. The Puebloan tribes all had dishes with corn, squash and beans. Serve the beans on the side and you have a hearty meal. I prefer my casserole sans corn, as I was taught, but it's a good way to stretch it a bit farther.

I pick mine before they get too large. If they're too big the skin is tough and they're loaded with seeds. My summer squashes didn't do well this year due to the screaming hot July we had. Same with my butternut squash plants...they suffered as well...……...Normally I'm picking the butternuts like 2 weeks from now. My plants died back in August......Crazy weather here in Manassas. We had record breaking rainfall totals for the month of May, one of the hottest July's on record, and second to driest month of September (.10") with almost record breaking heat for this month also.

I like to slice the summer squashes and steam them, add to my plate with some butter and sprinkle with pepper. "They're GGGGreatt!!!"
