Air Fryer Squash Nuggets

I love summer squash and it can be prepared all kinds of ways - in a salad, stuffed, in a gratin, stir fried, smothered with onions, creamed, in a dressing, in a casserole and on the grill, among others.

And, I absolutely love deep fried squash y'all.

I mean deep fried foods are just so darned tasty - especially that good ole southern fried chicken!

Grilled Squash with Herbs

I hesitated to share this "recipe" at first but then I thought hey, the first time I ever wanted to grill squash, I had to look up "how to grill squash" because I wanted to do it right, so hopefully it will be helpful. There is always somebody, somewhere just learning to cook.

Besides y'all. Doesn't that just look scrumptious? It's really quite simple, but along the way I've discovered a couple of helpful tips.

Garden Vegetable Skillet with Shrimp

A skillet meal made from the best of summer veggies - squash, zucchini, bell pepper, green beans, Vidalia onions and tomatoes, with red potatoes and fresh garden herbs and the addition of some pan-seared fresh wild-caught Gulf shrimp.

Garden Vegetable Skillet with Shrimp

I get strange cravings, and most times, they're not at all what you'd expect in the way of a craving.

I get very strong cravings out of the blue for beef. For McDonald's french fries. Or their iced coffee. Homemade chicken noodle soup and creamy Chicken and Noodles. Egg drop soup from the local Chinese restaurant. And vegetables, in general. It was that way in my pregnancy - I didn't crave sweets, or odd combinations. I craved a meat and three dinner!

Fire 'n Ice Marinated Squash Salad

A marinated squash salad using summer vegetables, including squash, zucchini, vidalia onion, sweet bell pepper and jalapenos and dressed in a horseradish infused, sweet and sour "Fire and Ice" vinaigrette.

Fire 'n Ice Marinated Squash Salad

I have mentioned many times here, that like most other Southerners, I am a huge fan of the flavor of sweet and sour, most especially when it comes to salads. To that, however, I also like a little heat added too, so from pickles, to coleslaw, to one of my favorite cucumber and tomato salads, I love the "Fire 'n Ice" versions that bring in a bit of fire.

Marinated squash salads are popular here in the summer, so I thought why not bring those fire and ice elements in there too?

Old Fashioned Creamed Squash

Yellow crookneck squash and Vidalia onion, first sauteed in a mixture of butter and bacon drippings, then stewed down, and finally creamed - a delicious taste experience!

Creamed Squash

I was gifted with a bag of some early spring crookneck squash and figured that I would just either sauté it in a bit of bacon drippings with some Vidalia onion, or otherwise make one of the usual squash dishes. I then decided to pose the question to our Facebook family asking, "what is your favorite thing to do with yellow squash?"

The readers there came through - as they always do - with lots of ideas, suggestions, and personal favorites... but one really stood out with me.

Carla mentioned that she had first encountered yellow squash at about the age of 15 in a somewhat unusual way. She was babysitting for a family back then, and the child's grandmother would regularly prepare a big supper. One day Carla took a large spoonful of what she thought was creamed corn, but which actually turned out to be squash! Thick and creamy and peppered just right, she loved it. When another reader Katherine chimed in with a similar experience, she spoke of how good it smelled and how she "couldn't stop eating it." Well, I knew I would just have to try it.
