Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.
As I was considering what to do about lunch today, The Squid dragged me out to the garden to show me his squash. “Mama, they’re about big enough to eat!” Now I know y’all are marveling at my 8yo Pirate who begs to be served squash for lunch. I’ll let that ride for a minute while I go round up the recipe he had in mind. Y’all may hum the Jeopardy tune in yer heads for a minute.
OK, I’m back. I’ll confess, that Pirate doesn’t like boiled squash for his lunch (or ever, thank you). He likes Squash Muffins. Preheat your oven to 350. Grease 2 trays of muffin tins (24 total).
1½ C Unbleached White Flour
1 C Whole Wheat Flour
1 C Oats (I use old fashioned)
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
♦Mix those together in your large bowl, set it aside.
1¾ C Sugar
4 Eggs
¾ C Butter (use the real thing, that other stuff isn’t food)
2 tsp. Vanilla (see note above)
♦ Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs & vanilla, beat well. Fold in 2 – 3 C grated, fresh squash. Spoon batter into muffin tins and bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pans. Y’all may substitute zucchini if you like.

I love summer squash… I like it sauted in butter and garlic. Unfortunately, I’m the only one in the house that will eat it. I would make my princesses and the pirate eat it but the DH refuses to even try it… how can I make my kids eat something their father refuses to? I should try the muffins and not share what I put in it. But that might lead me to sneaking other veges (zucchini) into foods too. Ohhh… the quick slip into deceit. Sigh.
