Summer squashes / zucchinis are easy to grow and they do well in the desert summer heat as long as they are watered generously. They are abundant producers, a few plants were more than we could handle with only two for dinner.
I have not bothered with winter squashes. They grow more like melons, vining along the ground instead of growing bushy like the zucchinis.
Most of my zucchini harvest ends up in soups or stews. My favorite is the grey aka Mexican zucchini, but I like the yellow and green ones too.
It is possible to eat young zucchini squash raw, but I have never tried it.

I've never grown winter squash in my garden, but I occasionally do buy one in the store. I've cooked acorn, butternut and spaghetti squash, and of course pumpkins too. Most of them end up as soup, a very few as side dish. I don't bother with pumpkin pie.
