I added a cup of shredded cheddar. This could use more cheese and less eggs. Not much of what I was expecting. -
I had a bag of fresh yellow squash and wanted to try a new recipe. I liked that there was not bread or corn bread in it to make it heavy. I made it as written except I added some grated cheese (left over from last night) to the Parmesan. I used light mayo and used Ritz cracker crumbs. Instead of butter, I sprayed the crumbs with Pam. The subtle flavor of the squash and Vidalia onions was not over whelmed by the sauce. It received good reviews from my family and they are not squash fans. They all said be sure and make that again. High praise indeed. -
Delicious! I made this as written, but added just a little extra parmesan cheese. It baked up very nicely; not to watery and not too dry. Great use for summer squash. I may a zucchini in next time for some color. Thanx! -
Excellent ! I made the recipe as directed. The dish needed more squash. -
This was pretty good. I was hesitant about putting mayo in it, but it turned out well. I added shredded sharp cheddar cheese, garlic, and topped it with parmesan cheese.

<p>September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. <br /> <br /> <br />--- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time:</p>
