The Year of Squash

We love squash so much in my kitchen that I realized I've made enough different squash recipes to use a new one each month of the year! Here's the year in squash:

January: winter squash soup with kale and white beans
February: African peanut squash stew
March: spaghetti squash with beets, feta and walnuts
April: gratin with baked butternut squash, leeks, goat cheese, and hazelnuts
May: butternut squash risotto
June: Vegetable Napoleon: summer squash, zucchini, portabella mushrooms, tomato, caramelized onions, on bed of sautéed spinach with saffron jus
July: sauteed yellow squash and zucchini "pasta" / summer squash topped with fresh pesto
August: grilled farmer's market vegetables (squash, onions, portobello mushrooms, etc.)
September: butternut squash bisque
October: Native American kabocha squash soup with black beans
November: Thanksgiving squash casserole (savory with cheesy yellow squash or sweet butternut squash with pecans)
December: roasted winter squash with sage maple glaze
