After Halloween the Orchard has a hard time getting rid of neck pumpkins so Justin brought some home for me. The one I cooked was longer and fatter than Daniel! This abundance of neck squash got me thinking about all the possibilities... so here are my top ten favorite suggestions of things to do with neck squash:
1. Make Baby food (I pureed a whole bunch in the blender and then froze it in ice cube trays, then dumped it in baggies for Daniels enjoyment later:-)
2. Take a large neck squash camping you can, keep it in your tent and then use it as a seat when all other surfaces are wet:-)
3. Make Pumpkin Cookies (make sure you have lots of milk on hand to go with these!)
4. Make Pumpkin Soup (add some ham and veggies and it's a complete meal!)
5. Decorate your front porch.
6. For a baby shower game--- put a 17plus pound neck pumpkin in an infant car seat and have the mother to be carry it up and down a flight of stairs five times... I'd call this motherhood boot camp!
7. Use your ten plus pound squash to lift weights!
8. Tie a bonnet on it and call it a "goose."
9. Stand them up on end and use a cantaloupe for a nutritious twist on bowling!
10. This is the best suggestion ever--- Make Pumpkin Pie!!! (I'm sure I read somewhere that it is the healthiest pie;-)
Okay so I'm squashed out right now, time to get my day started and cook up the rest of my squash!
