Baked Zucchini (from Mrs. Greenjeans)

6 medium zucchini with the ends sliced off
1/4 cup creamy French salad dressing
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/4 cup butter or margarine melted
1 cup dry break crumbs
1 teaspoon dried basil, or a tablespoon fresh snipped
1 teaspoon salt

(You need a pot large enough to put the whole zucchini in. )

Heat 1 inch water (salt if you prefer) in the pot to boiling. Add the zucchini and cover, reduce your heat and simmer until tender. About 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Preheat your oven to 350.

Cut each zucchini lengthwise in half and put cut side up in a buttered baking dish. Stir together the salad dressing and mustard and spread on the tops of the zucchini. Mix the remaining ingredients and sprinkle on the top. Bake uncovered until hot. About 25 minutes.

Serve hot! Makes from 6-8 servings.

Boy, pulling all of these recipes from my personal site is making my mouth water for squash! I don't have any this year, for the first time in years. My garden failed me this time. I think I'll have to go to the Farmer's Market and get some!

Vegetables Italiano (from a Contadina can of stewed tomatoes)

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup julienne-cut carrots steamed
3/4 cup halved and sliced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 3/4 cups (14.5 ounce can) Italian style stewed tomatoes and juice
3 cups sliced zucchini
1 cup button mushrooms, halved
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

In a large skillet, heat oil, saute carrots, onion and garlic for 2 -3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes and juice, zucchini, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 - 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

When we make this, we like to serve it over cooked rice or potatoes. I generally substitute regular mushrooms, sliced, s I always have them on hand.

These look so good, they're making me hungry! I like to brush slices of zucchini with butter and brown sugar and bake them, but that might just be me.

I buy fresh yellow (summer) squash at every market trip during this time of year-we love it!!

Slice up yellow squash and onions - simmer until everything starts to soften. Drain.
Add in some margarine. salt and pepper. Top with crushed ritz crackers and nuke for another minute or so. YUM!!!

Yellow squash is also so good sliced into salads, both tossed or pasta - also soups. Use it pretty much as you would onion, celery or green pepper. It's also great sliced up and eaten raw with some ranch dip
