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
