Actually, there are lots of summer squashes... zucchini is
one of them.

We call them Patty Pan. I don't see the yellow version much
- it's usually green in my stores. To tell you the truth, I
use squash as a side dish and don't do much more than steam
(sliced) for a few minutes. I like <most> squash too much
to fool around them very much with it, but if I'm in the
mood, I'll spinkle a little parmesean/romano/asiago cheese
on top.

At one point I was serving squash up to 5 nights a week
because different squashes are different vegetables to me.
But since you're looking for some variation... this
website has a lot of recipes for you
http://www.cdkitchen.com/ IMO, patty pan can be substituted
for zucchini in almost any recipe.
