Now that sounds really good. Quick and easy, and with lots of healthy veggies. It would make a great side dish.
Yes ma'am, anytime I make a pot of beans or peas ,this dish and cornbread are sure to be on the table.
Very timely recipe. I'm getting more squash and zucchini than I know what to do with.
Another good zucchini recipe: Cheesy Zucchini "bread" sticks

I do like me some zucchini cheese sticks. And I like zucchini tempura cheese sticks as well. I miss my Fondue pot...
I used to not like squash, but have developed a taste for it
Yeah me too. Growing up I didn't like it at all. Mom would just boil it and mash with butter and salt and pepper most of the time. The texture just didn't appeal to me as a kid.
I like the old fashioned yellow crookneck squash sliced about a 1/4 inch thick and boiled with diced yellow onions, with a bit of butter, salt and pepper. Mashed squash, unless made into a soup, would not appeal to me either.
I always assumed she made it like that because that's how my Dad liked it. It's funny that how some foods are prepared for you as a kid can influence your tastes. To this day I don't want cooked spinach or cauliflower near my plate however raw in a salad, yummy.
How very true. As a kid I loved fried hominy, but, for some reason as I got older I started to dislike it, and now I won't touch it. Same with grits and Malt-O-Meal. I liked them as a kid and I now I can't stand them.
My mom fries sliced yellow or zucchini squash after breading it lightly with cornmeal. I like that pretty well, but you have to eat it while it's piping hot. Like a lot of fried foods, it's not nearly as good if it cools down a bit.
When I had my garden I grew a good deal of zucchini and waited until they got a pretty good size before picking. I cut them in slices and breaded them with a mixture of flour, onion powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Then quickly fried them to a golden brown. As you say, not as tasty when left to get cold.
