You are so FUNNY. Great video BUT… Don’t you realize that zucchini IS A SQUASH ?? It’s just another VARIETY of SQUASH. HOW can it be that so many otherwise INTELLIGENT people just don’t know this SIMPLE FACT ?? SMH ❤

I’m not sure what warranted you to say this, but at video marker 4:17 I said I liked squash better than zucchini… I know they are both classified as summer squash, but I wasn’t going to say I like squash better than squash? No different than us calling “pumpkins” by that name instead of calling them winter squash. I guess we all will go to the “winter squash patch” come fall this year. Come on now.

Down here Squash is yellow and zucchini is green, and it is said that way to better distinguish the variety you are speaking of

Yes! It’s so easy and simple! God Bless! ❤️
My kids like zucchini/squash bread so I just use the grater setting on my food processor and freeze in pre-measured portions so I can just thaw and add to the recipe. Sometimes the easy way saves more energy to get the other things done. Loved this video.

I freeze, can and freeze dry my Squash. More freeze dry than anything due to freezer space. Absolutely love it.

Nice and easy, I cook it butter, onions too, also add in chopped tomato and corn when they are ready. I will definitely try freezing it.

Oh that’s right up my alley! I’ve never seen tomatoes put with it! Our corn is completely dried up this year. I doubt we even have a harvest. Praying for rain!! 🙏🏻 thank you!

@@harmonhomestead7434 so sorry about your corn, seemed like there was too much rain and now nothing. Its heartbreaking to put in all that work and to watch it all dry up. Praying for rain too.
awesome thank you! I love squash and zuchinni and my wife HATES it so I do a tactical surgical strike especially in the winter and put it in stews and what not, where it just melts away and you never knew it was ever there LOL 🔥

When my kids were little I’d make “garden sauce” (a mix of random veggies that of course included a nice variety of squash & zucchini) in my crock pot, once cooked I’d purée it with an immersion blender and sneak veggies into spaghetti sauce, taco meat, you name it. They never knew until the youngest was 16 and caught me adding it to dinner 😂😂😂 She was outraged that “garden sauce” was just veggies 😂😂😂 She now says she plans on using this tactic with her kids in the future 🙌🏽

I thought you had to blanch it first which always seems like a hassle to me especially if I am going to put it in squash casserole later on. So glad it works for you to skip that step!

I have never blanched it, and it works beautifully! I may be doing it against the rules, but it sure is better this way on me! 😊👍
I prefer the yellow squash to zucchini too...nutty buttery flavor that zucchini lacks. Since it comes on same time as tomatoes, I make a summery soup with my canned tomatoes, chopped onions and sweet bell peppers, garlic and the squash but with a squeeze of lemon juice and favorite seasonings. Then melt a stick of butter in the chunky soup. So good!

A really delicious squash is rugosa. It’s an heirloom Italian variety that has a nice savory nutty flavor, it’s my new passion!
I caned some this year for frying it is so good

If I know I will be making squash casserole I will season and boil a big batch...then ladle it out into a baggie and use liquid to cover...helps prevent freezer burn...takes up less space and is ready in a snap...I freeze corn on the cob by just leaving husks on maybe cutting a bit of silk end off to size for baggie....toss it in the freezer...taking out only what I need as I go...no wet cob taste

Canning cabbage is easy and quick.
@harmonhomestead7434
Ай бұрын
Nooooo. Canning plain cabbage is not USDA recommended. It must be pickled or preserved some other way. So that’s why we freeze. 😁
Do you ever find (for when you are frying it), that it gets more mushy after thawing versus raw? Or do the thicker slices hold up better?

I never fry mine after frozen. Only use boiled or in squash casserole. I would prebatter squash then freeze it if I was going to fry. 😊

I just watched the video again to clarify what I may have said wrong. What I meant was people can and do fry the squash after freezing, either plain or pre-breaded. 99% of the time, I freeze raw and use in squash casserole. Hope this helps. Sorry for the confusion. You can literally freeze squash pre-breaded, raw, or just however you like.

I wonder if you could freeze it whole ( to save freezer space) ?

I’m not sure… I believe it would take up more space whole compared to sliced. Just my thoughts but it’s worth investigating!
