Tastes Like Summer

I have been buying vegetables and fruit from roadside stands for about a week. We took a trip to Ham's Orchard over the weekend and bought peaches, tomatoes (yes tomatoes), and zucchini. Yellow squash came from a card table vegetable stand near my mom's house, and a watermelon came from a truck farmer set up at a local restaurant. We are pretty full of locally grown veggies and fruit. Here are a few ways I have prepared them.

Squash Casserole#1
4 Large Yellow Squash steamed and mashed.
2 Medium onions chopped
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Stick of Butter melted
1 Cup of Soft Breadcrumbs
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix the squash, onions, eggs, sugar, half the bread crumbs, and half the butter in a mixing bowl. Spread the mixture into a baking dish, pore remaining butter and sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the squash mixture. Bake at 350 for thirty minutes.

Mix squash, onion, 1 cup of cheese, and the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Spoon into a baking dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of squash mixture. Bake at 350 for twenty minutes.
