Trumpet squash

I just got a trumpet squash from a neighbor, has anyone cooked them before? What is the best way? My family is not huge squash eaters but I'd love to get them to try something new. I also have zucchini - anyone have a zucchini bread recipe?
thanks

  2. The other night I made rice and after it was cooked, I grated a little zucchini on top and let it sit for a few minutes before serving it as a side dish. Holland knew I was doing it and was a little resistant, but we all really enjoyed it. It was delicious!
