I have an idea for a recipe using squash. What's your opinion ?

I was thinking of stuffing small Golden Nugget squash with scallop potatoes using sweet potatoes. Maybe put some kind of cheese inside as well. Serve it with ham or chicken wings ? Has anyone tried this, is it good ? What's your opinon about this. Any suggestions ?I have an idea for a recipe using squash. What's your opinion ?
Just do it. Really. The fun of cooking is dreaming up new recipes and trying them out, sometimes they work, other times they don't or you'll figure out what went wrong and tweak it and end up with something perfectly fine.
It might bring out the sweetness pretty good...I love squash and love sweet potatoes so that creation sounds ok in my book!!! Try to sprinkle the top with brown sugar and cinnamon to keep with the sweet flavor and this may be weird, but my aunt makes sweet potatoes with marshmallows you can melt some minis on top if you wanted to...yum.I have an idea for a recipe using squash.

I love squash - love sweet potatoes.....sounds great.....I'd go for serving with ham.............
it sounds yummy i think i might steal the recipe from you
Sounds great- creativity is a wonderful thing!



Personally, I would go with a gouda cheese and scalloped sweet potatoes with apples, a pinch of cumin, and top with a dollop of sour cream ( I have been using the latin american style sour cream- comes in taller plastic jars or even bags, it is yummy! )
Im not really sure about the sweet potatos,i feel they are too close in taste and texture to make an impact but try it,after all its a matter of personal taste and im just happy youre being creative with your food and cooking outside the box!

I wonder what it would taste like with regular potatos and onions in a cheese sauce made from a sharp cheddar.

Ive stuffed acorn squash with sausage and corn bread dressing with great results.

good luck%26gt;%26lt;%26gt;

i have done it this way but i never used scallopped potatoes it sounds intereseting i would go for it.



hope you like this one too. enjoy.
Sounds good! I would serve it with ham though. My boyfriend is a wonderful cook and has a recipe for squash casserole. The squash is thinly sliced and layered with ham and cheese. You could do it this way and add the potatoes in the layers.
