Made this recipe mostly as given, but I did season it with lemon pepper & just a pinch of salt! Loved the combo of squash & corn AND the garlic! Thanks for sharing this recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag]

I wrongly assumed that this would be bland! What a wonderful, fresh dinner this made! I made a few substitutions based on what I had. Doubled the onion, used beef broth instead of vegetable, omitted the olive oil. I can't wait for tomorrow's lunch. Thanks!

Some of my favorite summer ingredients, it was no surprise that I had all of the ingredients when I came upon this recipe. I made this with just 2 teaspoons of a high quality olive oil and skipped the butter entirely. Because the ingredients are few, the freshness and broth used really matter. On a bit of whimsy I replaced the parley with some chives snipped from my herb box. Thanks! made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.
