  1. My husband wanted a squash casserole like his grandmother used to make. I tried yours and it was a great success! He loved it! I'll definitely be using this recipe again. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. This was really good. Due to dietary issues I used lowfat margerine and low fat mayo. Also subbed sweetner for the sugar. I will probably leave that out next time. Great recipe!
