Comments: We made this recipe a few times when my son was a toddler and loved how he’d eat it up, but hadn’t made it for several years. I’m so glad we got yellow squash on this last order, because I finally made it again and was reminded how delicious it is! We served this tonight and the kids loved it! My son (5) and daughter (2 1/2) ate it up. Yeah! I forgot how good it is; it’s delicious! 2 pounds is 2-3 yellow squash.
