It's Squash Season!

A few weeks ago our lovely, new neighbors gave me some zucchini and summer squash. I love squash and decided to experiment with it. I made a casserole that can be eaten as a main dish or as a side dish. I posted it on the about.com Frugal Living Forum. Someone made it and her family loved it. (Such a compliment!) Here is the recipe:

3 c. cooked rice
3-4 med./lg. squash
1/2 tsp. thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1/3 c. milk
2 c. shredded cheese of your choice

Cut squash into chunks or thicker slices and saute with the thyme in oil or butter until tender. In a separate bowl, beat egg, milk, pepper and salt. Combine cheese, egg mixture, rice and squash. Can top with cheese and/or breadcrumbs. Back for 25 min. at 350 degrees. Can add a chopped onion in with the squash and saute.

I hope you all like it too.
