I think they may be a bit sweeter smaller. Don't take my word for it though, as I'm not certain if that's universal or me. I love pattypan squash though, and been hoping to find some in the store. I steam them whole and eat them that way.
I suppose I haven't got anything to lose by harvesting them smaller! I've seen pictures on the internets where it looks like they are so small that they much have been harvested pre-fertilization! Hm!
My MIL says they're sweeter smaller, too. When squashes get too big, I shred em and turn them into muffins or bread. Once I made waffles. Basically I substitute em for pumpkin or squash in recipes.
You could bread and broil slices a la low fat eggplant parm, too, with lots of pasta sauce.
Ooooooh, that's a good idea. I'm not a huge eggplant fan (I'll eat it, but given an option would eat just about any other vegetable instead) so that sounds like a good sub! I think my husband may be skeptical of "eggplant" parm with no parm though...
You know, daiya is pretty good, and I could get it, but I dunno, I'm just not that into fake cheese. Probably because I was never that into real cheese. Nutritional yeast and walnuts though, I can get behind that. ;-)
If husband really wants cheese he can find some his own damn self!

I suppose I'll get over it if they are tastier. ;-)
