New recipe

My late summer garden is producing an abundance of winter squash (delicatata) and I didn't know what to do with it. So, I thought, maybe it could be used like eggplant. Success! I made eggplant or should I say delicatata squash parmigiana. It was fantastic! If you ever have this wonderful vegetable, so try this recipe. By the way this type of squash produces 10x more than the summer variety, it keeps well through the winter and appears to be a bit more drought, and bug tolerant. Love it!

Here is the recipe:
