Here's a fast and simple way to use up your summer squash (also called crooked neck squash). I have also used this recipe for okra and zucchini. My kids gobble up their veggies this way!

This is just a simple, basic yet classic, Southern recipe. We eat these like we would if they were potato chips (and the grandkids do too!) Feel free to add extra spices and experiment.

Steps:
- 1. Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours before serving time, in a plastic food storage bag, shake together cornmeal and salt; set aside.
- 2. Wash & dry squash; cut off stem & blossom ends; slice into rounds that are approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- 3. Drop squash slices into the bag with the cornmeal; seal bag & shake vigorously; set aside for at least an hour, shaking gently every 10 to 15 minutes. (This is necessary because the squash will exude some of it's juice, and the juice helps the cornmeal to stick to the squash.)
- 4. Place several layers of paper towels on a 1 1/2 foot length of aluminum foil or heat-resistant plate/platter; set next to stove.
- 5. After the squash has been in the cornmeal for an hour or two, pour oil into large skillet.
- 6. Heat oil on stovetop over medium-high heat.
- 7. Working in batches (usually 3,) add a single layer of cornmeal-coated squash slices quickly, one at a time, to cover bottom of skillet.
- 8. Fry squash, turning frequently, until light golden brown on both sides (I use tongs or a fork for turning.) You may need to lower heat slightly toward the end of the first batch.
- 9. Remove to paper towels as desired browning is achieved. Continue adding squash to hot oil, as space permits.
- 10. Taste-test one of the fried squash slices to determine if it needs a sprinkle of salt. Season as desired. Serve immediately.
- 11. Any leftover cornmeal mixture may be stored in refrigerator for the next time you fry squash, okra etc...
COUNTRY FRIED SQUASH
This recipe was my Grandmother's and it actually won a Blue Ribbon in the Tennessee State Fair! Be sure to use fresh squash, I use butternut but other squash would also be good.

EASY DEEP FRIED SUMMER SQUASH
For as long as I can remember my family has loved fried summer squash. Over the years, I have either pan fried them or deep fried them, but I think the results are so much better when it's deep fried. They come out so crispy and delicious and this recipe is so easy to do. Hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- 1. Wash the squash and slice off the ends and discard. Slice squash into thin slices, about 1/8" thick. Set aside.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk, mixing thoroughly with fork. In another shallow bowl or plate, combine flour and corn meal.

- 6. Note: You may increase or decrease flour and meal as necessary.
SKILLET SUMMER SQUASH
The good old-fashioned country way. This is definitely NOT diet food. You don't drain the bacon fat off after you brown it. If you really have to, you can substitute butter, but it won't be the same. You can also use this recipe with a combination of yellow and pattypan squash.
