Very quick and easy to make! Didn't have dijon, so used regular mustard instead. My very picky daughter even liked it!

This was delicious and so easy. I didn't have Dijon mustard. I used Jack Daniel's mustard instead. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. My picky dh requested I make this again.

This was really great! I love zucchini and squash. I made a fatal mistake, though, and accidentally used spicy brown mustard instead of dijon. Do not make that mistake!!!! Next time I will make it the right way! Thanks for this!
