Thanks for sharing these recipes. I love summer squash, but the recipes I usually use for them are not exactly what you would call healthy. Blessings, Deborah H. Bateman-Author

Don’t laugh at me, but I’ve never tried squash before. How does it taste? All this healthy stuff somehow makes it scary Which of the above recipes is your favorite? Which one would you recommend for a beginner like myself?
