Yep, they are all the same thing, just different colors and different shapes.

I routinely use my yellow squash in zucchini recipes. The squash bread is excellent. The loaves freeze well, so we have sweet treats even when squash is out of season. I was sort of out of luck this year...the oven bake element went out just about the time the squash came in. We only had one plant anyway, and our horrible heat this summer killed it off pretty early. I didn't manage to bake any squash bread this season, but I did get some squash in the freezer. Enjoy your squash bread!

I never plant zucchini, but substitute my squash into everything. I do make bread and muffins with it, but my absolute favorite crave it all year recipe is the cornbread casserole. I put a link below. We use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar and always add a couple of ears worth of fresh corn cut off the cob. If you still have extra squash to use up, you should try it.

Here is a link that might be useful: zucchini cornbread casserole

I definitely agree with the cornbread casserole. Wyatt's Cafeteria (might have been local chain?) used to serve a yellow squash dressing that was wonderful. I don't have the recipe in front of me, but do a search for Wyatt's Squash Casserole or Wyatt's Squash dressing and the recipe will come up. I've also substituted pepper jack for the cheddar at times, or did a combination. This casserole/dressing also freezes well, both cooked and uncooked, but I prefer to precook it so that it only needs to be reheated as long as it takes to get hot through and through. I buy disposable aluminum casserole pans for my freezer meals. So easy. I make several of these casseroles at one time, so the mess is only once! I love squash now.I used to order this at the cafeteria at a time when I didn't even like squash!

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. Now I just need to get out from under the pile of tomatoes I've been processing to find time to process other things!

Thank You for the help. I grow zuccini and squash. Oddly I grew them.close together and my squash was greenish. I looked into it thinking they was bad but have found that basically they innerbreado making the squash kinda green inside. This is great cause I can mix them both together. I froze a bunch.

Squash will cross pollinate each other true. But any effects do not show up in the first season, only in the second season if you save seeds from those plants and grow them again.

So if you had greens that were supposed to be yellow it wasn't because you grew them close together.

Oh wow. The green is at the seed area

Would need the name of the variety. Some yellow summer squash varieties are normally a pale green around the seed cavity (posting a photo would help) especially if they are over-ripe. What was the source of the seeds as you might have gotten some seeds that were cross-pollinated. Especially if these were seeds you saved yourself or got from a trade.
