This is another great recipe that worked well for us as left overs the 2nd time around, since there were just 2 of us to enjoy it! I particularly enjoyed the combo of orange & squash, & admit that I was generous with the orange zest! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block]
