  • “This was really delicious.I stir fried the zucchini and squash for about 4 minutes and then added the water and put the lid on for about 2 minutes.It was tender crisp.There’s no way I would cook it for 6 to 8 minutes unless you like mush.”

  • “This was very good.Instead of 3 tbls water I added 3 tbls of lemon juice.It was very good and almost as good as our grilled zucchini and squash.Much more convenient when you are in a hurry.thanks”

  • “I had some squash around and wanted a healthy small meal, so I found this and it was perfect! I omitted the onion and used lemon juice instead of water. I loved it, but then again, I am a huge squash fan, so I am biased haha…thank you for this recipe!!!”

  • “I altered the recipe a smidge, but this came out wonderful!I made this with a lemon rosemary chicken and they complimented eachother so well. My boyfriend proclaimed that he hated squash but he was willing to try it again, after this he said I really like squash I don’t know why I hated it…AWESOME because squash is one of my faves and I never got to eat it….I used smart balance margarine and took the suggestion of a reviewer and used lemon juice instead of water.i seasoned the squash with salt fresh ground pepper and fresh rosemary…this was excellent with our meal thank you so much!”

  • “This was really good and easy! I added broccoli to the mix, and only steamed the veggies for a couple of minutes.”

  • “I did not use the water, and also added a little no-salt spicy seasoning.It is wonderful and, even better, fresh from the garden!”

  • “this was delicious, no improvements needed.”
