  1. This is the recipe to pull out when your garden is over run with zucchini and squash and your family is begging, "No more squash!" It has a nice little kick with the red pepper (I added a 1/2 tsp.) I added the left overs to my spaghetti sauce and served over pasta. Delicious.
     
  2. Totally awwesome recipe - OMG they were snarfed up!- the few leftover are even good COLD the next day! We are Southern & very exacting on what constitutes proper hushpuppies. I made these calling them fritters but they met muster well. Crispy light bites of goodness - When I make them again (this weekend for friends) I will try to sub minced green onion for a bit more color but in same quantities. Fried them outside in deep fat fryer - done in 6 minutes at 360 degrees (we made big uns too). Thank you Southern Chef in Louisiana for this recipe I will use often when squash is in season as this is a subtle way to lighten an old family fav!
     
  3. these were so yummy! i'm throwing out my hush puppies recipe and sticking this one in its place...thanks so much for posting!
     
  4. I thought these were fantastic and my whole family enjoyed them.
     
  5. These were GREAT!!! My non-squash eating family members gobbled them up! I had to add a little more flour to keep them together. I will be making these again! I served them with bbq chicken and corn on the cob. Yummy! Thanks for sharing!
