That was a great Recipe! I only had Italian Bread Crumbs, but they worked great! Very flavorful, easy to make, and made great use of my bounty of squash from the garden. Will be making again.

I MADE THESE FOR SUPPER TONIGHT. THEY WERE DELICIOUS. THERE WAS TOO MUCH FILLING SO I FIXED ANOTHER SQUASH AND JUST DIDN'T SAVE THE SEEDS PART BUT DID USE THE SQUASH I SCRAPED OUT. ANOTHER GOOD SQUASH RECIPE.
