Squash, Squash, Squash 'tis the season of squash. It won't last. By the time you think you can't eat one more bite it will be out of season. Here are some tips on what to do with left over cooked squash. One of my little ladies told me to just add an egg and some flour to the leftover squash and cook it up in some bacon grease like a pancake. Well, I took it a little further. Make up a batter, like a fritter batter or pancake batter, and try the following add ins:

Pumpkin Pie Spices-clove, cinnamon and nutmeg, then top it with Manor Honey for breakfast. Roasted pecans are good in this one.

Add Italian seasoning and top with a marinara or chopped tomatoes and basil.

Put in chopped parlsey, onion and a little nutmeg and serve with applesauce like latka or potato pancake

Top with grated cheese, I like parmesan or a sharp cheddar

Use your imagination, left over ham or corn or....
