Are you looking for recipes that use farm fresh zucchini and squash? If so, you are in the right place! This morning as I awoke during my visit to my parent’s home, I discovered that they had already harvested squash and zucchini before 8 a.m. My mother Judith Biondo Meeker was shredding them and mixing ingredients to prepare several recipes. Featured today on Theresa’s Reviews, I’m sharing several recipes my family enjoys that are perfect for a bountiful harvest!

Farm Fresh Zucchini and Squash Recipes

These three recipes include my Italian grandmother’s zucchini bread, a farm friend’s zucchini quiche, and my southern, Tennesseean grandmother’s squash casserole. All three recipes happen to be vegetarian too!

My Southern Tennessee Grandmother’s Squash Casserole

From Frances Meeker of Nashville, Tennessee

• 6 cups yellow squash
• 1 cup onion
• 2 1/2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
• 2 cup cheddar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice six cups of yellow squash, and chop the onion. Cook the squash and onion with a small amount of water in a covered pan for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain well and place in a large mixing bowl. Freshly grate the cheddar cheese and add to the mixing bowl with half the crackers.

In a separate small bowl, mix the eggs and milk, and add to the squash mixture. Stir in the butter, salt and pepper. Spread evenly into a 9X13 pan or ramekins. Sprinkle with remaining crackers and some butter.
