This was OK, but we didn't think the yellow squash went well with the rest of the dish. We like yellow squash...just not so much in this recipe. It's definitely a great recipe for using leftover ham. I do think I will give this recipe another chance and prehaps use another vegetable instead of the yellow squash, because I think this recipe has potential.....especially since I frequently have leftover ham.
