There are lots of casseroles that require cooked squash which the frozen squash work fine for. They make great squash patties with onion, salt, egg, pepper and flour. Then roll in cracker crumbs and fry in egg. The secret is to squeeze out all moisture for patties. We like our with just some onion and garlic sauteed in olive oil and the the squash added and sauteed until cooked them serve with a little shredded cheese on top.the canned quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161381921874364319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-70820110262804094692012-07-20T16:39:04.942-05:002012-07-20T16:39:04.942-05:00What do you use blanched/frozen squash for?

I always have TONS of zucchini and I generally just chop it rather finely and freeze it to use in muffins, chili, etc., where texture doesn't matter as much.tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-92047783982874791942012-07-19T22:04:17.105-05:002012-07-19T22:04:17.105-05:00You make me tired. ;o)

Squash, zucchini, potatoes, onions, okra, and carrots. <br /><br />For instance I can carrots to eat at meals but if I am making a soup and want carrots I use dehydrated ones. If I have carrots in the fridge that are starting to get outdated I blanch them and just throw them in the freezer. I can new potatoes and dehydrate hashbrowns and also sliced potatoes for casseroles.the canned quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161381921874364319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-65145203591100171652012-07-19T19:15:52.082-05:002012-07-19T19:15:52.082-05:00Love the pictures!
