Hi Julie – Before I came across the microwave solution, I saw an article that talked about using a really good knife and a mallet. I was thinking, well, I don’t really have either – lol.

I don’t know why I don’t like sweet with vegetables – I don’t really like sweet much at all – I’m more of a sour and spicey sort of person.

Hey Kim, I saw this yesterday when the e-mail notice came in but I didn’t have time to read it…

I can so relate to your trials and tribulations with the squash. I have done my fair share of knife battles with squash. My father-in-law will have his favorite Hubbard squash for Thanksgiving and it will have that sweet variation that you don’t like. I don’t mind but I think your recipe sounds healthy and fun.

Can’t answer the mix and match question, I think that squash of varying types would have different flavors that might not blend. But I wouldn’t know that without trying and I always experiment. Thanks for sharing. I’ll pop back when I have squash in the house!

Hi Cath – I don’t do anything with the settings on the microwave. I just put it in for 3-4 minutes – I guess it’s the normal power level.

LOL – at a chainsaw :-)

Hi Kim – That looks yummy. I love squash but as you say, you often need a chainsaw to cut it. What heat do you microwave it on? I don’t want to explode the microwave.

Hi Vered – I’ve been cooking the same recipes for a long time. The farm box has forced me to become more experimental because I get things in it that I don’t normally purchase. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it though.

I like the way you're experimenting. I tend to stick with a few tried-and-true recipes, which can get boring! .-= vered | blogger for hire´s last blog ..Crispy, Golden Potato Latkes =-.

Hi Jim – It’s funny now but was really frustrating at the time ;-)

It wasn’t my favorite dish that I made but it was ok – I still have some in the freezer if you want to try it :-P

Hi Betsy – I’ll look that up. I have two squash on the counter staring at me right now.

Hi TheresaJane – The spaghetti squash sounds really good. :-) The first recipe is kind of the same problem I have with yams – I don’t like to add sweet to vegetables.

hahaha

Your squash cutting tribulations are really funny. :-)

The end product looks cheesy and yummy.
