When we had a big veg garden and grew our squash, I used to make
stuffed squash blossoms a couple of times a year. It's no big deal if
you can just walk out your door, pick the flowers, and use them
immediately.

I used to stuff them with either a ricotta/parmesan concoction or with
a ground beef mixture. Cover with sauce (tomato or bechamel) and bake.
Yum!
