Thank you! We used both yellow and zucchini for this and it was awesome. So very glad to have found this recipe... my honey bunch said it tasted a bit like egg fu young to him. I know it was simply delicious. Thanks again!

Even if you don't like squash, you should try this. Thanks for a great recipe Sherrybeth... and I followed it exactly... won't ever change anything.

Oh, my! Great use for an abundance of squash. I added peas because I also have so many of them in the garden. Could add diced ham or other copped meat. Topped with softened cream cheese/ butter mixture.

I made the recipe today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I let the squash mixture set for a few minutes and then dropped by tablespoon into half butter and half oil. Delicious!!
