Having trouble getting through your prolific pattypan squash harvest? Change it up with this pattypan squash recipe for pecan squash quickbread.
I’ve been cooking up all kinds of tasty goodness using produce from the garden this summer. Normally I make a crazy-good zucchini bread, but tonight I decided to change it up and and make it a pattypan squash recipe. This bread uses pattypan squash and pecans instead of zucchini and walnuts. I must say, the results were certainly worth the effort! It’s a pattypan squash recipe worthy of sharing. Enjoy!
