Sqaush

I planted a squash in my garden this year that I have never tried before. I saw a lot of flowers but no squash, then I am looking at something else and i see it a real nice squash about 6 inches across.

The bigger one I gave to my mom, with some baby carrots, cucumbers, and green tomatoes from the garden, she lives in an apartment in the city, no place to grow anything.
 I cooked the smaller ones sliced and sauteed in olive oil with some garlic. If anyone has any other thoughts on how to prepare these squash let me know.
