My neighbor brought over three yellow squash this afternoon. Luckily I picked your video. I put the sliced squash in the bag and headed outside to work on the jeep. When I got back they were ready to fry. These were by far the best I have ever cooked. This recipe is as old as my old cast iron frying pan.I'm sure God enjoyed them through me. Blessings to you my sister in Christ.

I love squash! And I am a mid-sixties man learning how to cook out of necessity. I have tried every squash recipe I have found to get the crispy crunch and interior flavor of the squash. Today, I happened upon your recipe, and tried it tonight. It is my go-to from now on! I am going to add some onion and garlic powder, but other than that, it doesn't need more seasonings in my opinion. I have tried all the egg wash and flour and cornmeal recommendations with little to no luck. The "leave it alone for 15 min" was the trick I needed to get what I craved. I am also going to do okra the same way. Thanks so much!

Been frying squash all my life, as long as you don't slice it too thin, but then, if you do, you get squash chips! We just had fried squash a couple days ago. Along with garden green beans, tomatoes with cottage cheese and fresh corn on the cob. What a meal!

Good idea, Star.

Becky, I can’t thank you enough for this quick and easy way to make squash. My husband, who wouldn’t let any squash or zucchini cross his lips, now has requested that I make this. Today I only had one squash, so I tried adding a peeled sliced cucumber to the bag with the squash and cornmeal (including the teaspoon of Splenda) and he couldn’t tell the difference - neither could I! It was just great. For those who want to try it, DO peel the cucumber first as it has a much tougher skin than squash. God Bless you and thanks for sharing all your expertise!

Just the way I fix my squash Ms Becky. Lord bless you and yours.

I just love your videos. They take me back to summers on the dairy farm with my grandparents. My granny is now 94 years old and still fries squash much the same as you. Thank you for keeping these old time recipes alive - and for all the helpful tips you add along the way. God bless!

@Jeff Schwender God's Word says that Jesus said "I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I am not come to call the righteous: but sinners to repentance." !!! That's in Matt. ch. 9, and vs. 13. Besides it also says "There are none righteous, no, not one."which is in Romans 3, vs.10. It clearly instructs us sinners "Except ye repent, ye shall likewise perish." Luke 13:3 Jesus paid for every sin you have ever committed.... it was nailed to His cross! Believe and receive forgiveness .... become His child. In 2 Peter ch.3 vs.9 it does promise that the Lord is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Pray for His Truth to be revealed to your heart = and don't waste time. Turn to Him.

This is one of my favs--grew up on this! Was so happy when we had this on the table for dinner! Love how you always say to put God first, also.

How about for zucchini......will this recipe work? This channel has some great simple recipes!! Your camera work is very helpful, like the viewer is right there looking over your shoulder as you go through the cooking process. Reminds me of another excellent channel awhile back on Great Depression cooking done by an elder who has since passed. Very valuable information!! So big thanks for sharing. You give a rationale about why for instance you dont need a batter because the squash itself has a kind of sap that causes the cornmeal mixture to stick if you let it sit for >15 minutes and why you should drain them on a rack and not a paper towel. These tips are important for people to understand and follow if they want a successful outcome

You've brought back some sweet childhood memories. Both of my grandmother's made this...it IS an old recipe, they were both born near the turn of the century and raised in Victorian homes. They also fried the squash with sliced okra from time to time. I suppose it depended on how much had been harvested that day. Thank you for this and for sharing your love for our Lord.

Brings back such good memories as a kid of fresh squash from our garden that my mom would fry up as a side dish. She'd do both yellow "crooked neck" an pie pan squash. She'd also fry up eggplant the same way.

I didn't come here to learn how to fry summer squash...I came here to listen to your voice. I was born & raised in Tennessee...met a beautiful red head from Maine & she kidnapped me and took me to the north. LOL. Six years ago she had a severe stroke and was unresponsive for 17 minutes. She & I spent the last six years teaching her how to talk, walk & eat by herself. Every now & then, I miss home and the voices of my mother & sisters coming from the kitchen. Sometimes we have no idea what grand things we do with such little effort. Thank you much & God bless.

I am from Alabama. My mother cooked fried squash. I always wanted more but I had to share. She fried eggplant and green tomatoes. Delicious.

That's exactly how I fix mine! And I fry one layer at a time also. But.... I use a cast iron skillet.

Wow. Just like my grandmother made. I had forgotten about this. Thank you so much for the recipe and tips. I will be making these now. I love all your videos. God Bless.

Greetings from the Florida Panhandle better known as Lower Alabama. I LOVE fried squash. Fried eggplant is another favorite . My family is Sicilian so eggplant is a staple in most Sicilian kitchen's. We slice it thin, flour, egg wash then seasoned bread crumbs. Give it a try, it's amazing and it's best fried and remove the skin.

Lol eat it or starve...my mama didn't raise any picky eaters and it was because of the good vittles she and the good Lord graced our table with. And I lovee squash pickles, nothing like em on a big ole cheeseburger!! Summer squash done this way has always been my favorite. I now enjoy me some sauted up with zucchini and onions! Blessings to y'all!!

♥️💕🌼 We do this with variety of vegetables, Potatos, eggplant, spinich leaves, capsicum and other peppers. And we use flour of cereals. Thick batter coating is used many times, to get to eat the cereals flour as well. One experimental fry is do the same thing with slice bread directly, Or fill mashed potatos (mixed with salt, spices, peas), in the bread, seal the edges of the slice bread and create sealed pockets. Then do the same thing you did in this video with a bit wet flour. Just sharing my mom's experiments 😊

Wow that looks easy and a quick clean up . I love fried squash and will be doing this next time , Thank you ! May God bless you as you have us 🙏

My favorite! Fried squash!!! 💙

This is very close to what my Oklahoma family does. My aunt Corky does the baggie trick too. She uses flour and cornmeal, heavier on the cornmeal, with just salt and a lot of pepper! If anything reminds me of my Okie family it's this!

Made these last night. Followed directions except to deep fry. They were delicious! Hubby LOVED them! Don't skip the 15 minute wait. That really makes the cornmeal stick and fry perfectly. Will be using this recipe and technique always.

There is so much good on this channel it is hard start. You do so much good in helping people provide food at a reasonable cost and effort. You capably present wisdom, including but not limited to the bible and you do it in a way that is at times humorous which helps get the message across. I believe the Holy Spirit can guide us in ALL things. This one has saved me more time and frustration already and I only saw it about 10 days ago. My mom did fried squash, mostly the white “patty pan”, we didn’t grow summer squash, we were northern Hillbillies. It was use a rolling pin to make cracker crumbs between wax paper, (they didn’t sell them in the 1950’s) slice, dip in egg, dip in crumbs and fry. Mega mess and cleanup. I love fried zucchini but don’t like the mess. I decided if it would work for summer squash it will work for zucchini. I adulterated the process a little, I like ½ cornmeal and ½ flour, sometimes a touch of garlic salt and shake the bag. I found the real secret is letting them in long enough to coat and splitting them through the bag to get coverage. I use saved bacon drippings (lard) I keep - that adds some flavor to use your line. The cleanup, throw the bag away. I like the KISS method, Keep It Simple Stupid. I want to say this to you. You are helping people through hard times when we are being harassed and put upon by many including our government that should be helping us. Our lives are being made harder by stupid people who live in gated communities, have people to serve them and are living well off a largesse of our tax money. Keep on doing what you do. I believe God is with you in it. Be like Nehemiah, do not lose heart or allow the detractors to take away your joy or zeal. God bless and my thank you. Ralph Brandt, KZread, “From the Fireside”

Thank you for mentioning the checking of the center of this food (and others) before giving to a toddler to eat. With microwaved dishes, it's easy too not know how "done" the middle of a food may be.
