    Incredible!
    Loved it! There are a lot of yellow squash coming out of my garden right now... I'll be making this a lot I think! Great for breakfast or dinner side dish. - 7/9/12

    Very Good
    Terrific! I am trying to find a little healthier way to prepare these where they will still bind together. My family really enjoyed these, and it was great learning to cook something my mom used to make when I was a kid! - 9/27/07
