SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE
"Why don't you just cook something that tastes really good?" Julia Reed's mother said that, chiding her daughter, a writer of uncommon style and wit who used to contribute food essays and recipes to The New York Times Magazine. Her mother thought Ms. Reed spent too much time thinking about complicated, over-the-top recipes at the expense of simple, honest American cooking that draws compliments not because it looks amazing, but because it's delicious. Like, for example, this recipe, for what Julia called in a 2002 article, "the best squash casserole on the planet Earth." The ingredients are by no means fancy - summer squash, jalapeño, white bread, Ritz crackers, eggs and Cheddar - but they combine in mysterious and marvelous ways to deliver a perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken or a weekend roast.

MIMI'S SQUASH CASSEROLE
I love yellow squash cooked this way. However, I also love it just sliced in a bowl, pat of butter put on it, salt and peppered and nuked for about 3 minutes in the microwave! Easy and yummy, too!

SPECIAL SQUASH CASSEROLE
Squash has traditionally been a food our family passes up, but this luscious casserole is an exception to the rule. You won't find it among our Thanksgiving leftovers-it's one of the first dishes to go back to the kitchen empty. -Kathleen Cox, Wyoming, Michigan
