This was SCRUMPTIOUS! Oh my goodness...what a wonderful change from bland! Even the pickiest of eaters would enjoy this recipe. Can't wait for my grandsons to try it! I used Truvia for the sweetner and followed the recipe as given except in addition to ground pepper, I added a bit of California Style Lemon Pepper. It was SO yummy!!! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful!! I used 2 large zucchini and a big crook neck squash and threw in a few baby leeks. It all measured well over 2 pounds so I went up on the butter. I think it would have been much better if I had only used 1 tablespoon.

We weren't expecting anything exceptional by the simple ingredients and cooking directions. Especially with the addition of sugar. We traditional enjoy more savory than sweet when it comes to veggies. Boy were we surprised. DD and I both really enjoyed this and wish we had discovered it when out garden was overflowing with zucchini and squash. There's always next season!

I really loved the taste of this squash and squash is definitely NOT my favorite vegetable! This recipe makes a great tasting dish. Both my husband and I loved it!!! I also substituted garlic salt for regular salt and added onion. I used Splenda instead of sugar, but really I did not deviate that much from the original recipe and I will be making this dish again!! Thanks so much for posting it, glutenfreesearcy!!!

Very tasty. I think I would decrease the amount of sugar next time and add garlic salt as suggested by some reviewers.
