Today, it’s all about how to cook banana squash, and it’s so easy! My friend, Debbie, gifted me this beautiful squash. It is about 16 -18 inches long.
She asked me if I wanted it, and of course, I said, yes! I mentioned to her that Mark is not fond of squash, but I am. Mark’s mother loved to cook and serve baked squash to her family frequently. She had a similar approach to preparation to the one I’m writing about today by roasting or baking the squash. I’ve grown to love squash and made many varieties part of my garden planting plans for years.
I told Debbie I would write a post about it and bring some cut squash for her family to enjoy. Mark and I also delivered a few pieces of it baked and ready to eat. Ever since I received this one from Debbie, I’ve been looking for additional squash from our local farmers market.
