    I love garlic - so this was a very good recipe to me - also I made it into a sandwich with provolone cheese - was delicious. - 2/20/12

    Loved this but next time I'll use half the garlic. I agree w/previous comment that 1tbsp of garlic powder is too much. - 7/1/11

    I tend to over steam my veggies over the stove, so doing this time in the microwave for 3 minutes: with NO garlic (don't do garlic on veggies), and lemon pepper with all seasoning instead made it pretty delicious. This is going to be my goto for steamed veggies....using the microwave. - 3/2/11

    There is WAY too much garlic in this. I love squash and I love garlic. I steam squash at least three times a week and this isn't much different than doing that. - 12/13/08
