    Squash pretty much tastes like nothing! It's very mild and has a lot of water in it. This recipe looks like you could substitute cauliflower for the squash and have it be very yummy.
  • I am going to try and make this, I love sqaush and I am going to try it. Thank you, for the recipe, and keep up the good work, you look great!
