I am growing honey bear squash. It's growing great, no SVB or anything like that. The real problem is I don't like the taste of the squash. I tried cooking it in the oven with butter and brown sugar, but the taste and texture didn't appeal to me.

The only way I will eat zucchini is if my mother-in-law or mom make zucchini bread out of it. I figure that I will probably like my honey bear squash the same way. Below is a recipe for squash bread.

Has anyone ever tried squash bread? Some reviews of the recipe suggest replacing most of the oil with apple sauce. I think I would really like that. If anyone has any tips or any suggestions, please feel free to share. I don't want my squash to go to waste
