Baked Summer Squash

So because of Jeffs recent layoff I am trying to be a better cook and try new things so that Jeff and I are not eating out all of the time. I am going to try and post the things that I make for dinner and maybe even how I did it so that you can see and either make it or add your own spin to it. I am also going to give reviews of things that I make because it will most likely be the first time I have made something. So last week we started this and we made yummy pork chops, cheese and zucchini pizza (we even made the dough) we had hamburgers with corn on the cob, crispy chicken and Navajo tacos. I wish I would of thought of this for my blog sooner because then I would of showed you how we did it all. My recipes are going to be semi home made like the show on food network because I don't always have the means and the stuff that I need to make everything. Rhodes rolls is all that I have to say because those have provided a lot of yummy dinners for Jeff and I. I just want to add another side note and just let everyone know that sometimes my food might seem pretty plain and that's because my husband is picky picky so a lot of the time I try to make things we both will eat because I am far from picky.

So my first little recipe that I tried was one from the lady at the farmers market that sold this summer squash to me. Chandee and I went to the farmers market that is at thanksgiving point and we got some pretty good stuff along with this little beauty.

First I cut it open and took the seeds out of it. They like to fly everywhere so I would suggest the scraping them out in the sink not the garbage because you will have a bigger space to work with. Then I put it on a cookie sheet and added butter and brown sugar inside to add yummy flavor.

I baked it for about 10 minutes at 375 degrees. When the ten minutes were up I rolled the squash back together, wrapped it in tin foil, poked hole in both sides of the squash and cooked it for 10 more minutes. I think that I could of wrapped it together in the first place and cooked it for 15 min instead of baking it in two halves and it would of turned out just the same.

My Review:

I feel that this was pretty good. The taste was a little strong for me but I think it would be good to eat every once in a while with dinner. I would not eat it every day though that is for sure.
