everyone will love these as an alternative to the someimes dry hush-puppies. If you'd like to have a little more zing to your squash puffs - substitute fish fry instead of the cornmeal...this gives it a little more seasoning with some spice to it.

yummy! A good way to hide veggies from kids since they look and taste like hushpuppies! We loved them

Tasty little puffs! I would add a little more seasoning next time, maybe cayenne or thyme and maybe make them a little smaller. Great way to use up all those yellow squash that are around this time of year. Thanks for posting.

These puffed up nice. I modified the recipe slightly for my picky eater. DD loved the hush puppies served on our summer vacation down south. I omitted the onion and added about 1 c.whole kernel sweet corn in its place. I doubled the recipe and used a whole medium fresh squash, shredded, with skin on in the food processor using the grating attachment (no prior cooking required!). <br/>My DS wanted ketchup on his, we also had some with honey.This is a really fun way to use up a little yellow squash and get some veggies in otherwise (because they wouldn't eat squash knowing it was in there). <br/>Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed this. I added a little less onion and then put in onion powder instead, just simply because I wanted my children to eat them. I also put the smashed squash into a stainer and shook out excess water.
