Meet the Cook: Besides tasting good, these squares are a wonderful way to use up any leftover squash from dinner. Since my husband has a fertilizer-chemical business, I bake a lot of my squash squares for his crew and customers. We have five children, all of them married, and six grandchildren. -Shirley Murphy, Jacksonville, Illinois

These are so flavorful and moist.

They are so good and moist. I've shared them with neighbors. People are surprised when I tell them what is in them. I use butternut squash to make them.
