I don't usually create my own recipes, but this one passed my palate test. It offers a buttery flavor that those of us who are watching our weight miss at times. -Heather Ratigan of Kaufman, Texas

My family loved this dish even though summer squash not a favorite. I added garlic and sautéed the carrots and onion in a out 1 tbs of olive oil and butter. I added more and chicken broth because everyone loves rice. Would definitely make this again.

Just wondering if this would have been healthier to have cooked with brown rice and water rather than white rice and chicken broth . . . . Very tasty.

My family loves this recipe. It's simple and easy to make. Like others said, I substitute brown rice and I also add a little bit of garlic.

This was surprisingly delicious. I substituted a wild rice blend for the long grain and it was very tasty, I will be adding this to my rotation for sure, even my toddler loved this recipe.

I found this very bland; perhaps some herbs could be added. I did make it exactly as the recipe said.

This is a fabulous recipe that has been in our family rotation for several years now. Two of our children who otherwise won't eat zucchini and squash love this dish. We prefer brown rice, and substitute it for the long-grain rice, with the following changes. I saute the onion in the butter and add the brown rice and water. After about 45 minutes, I add the carrot. I add the zucchini and squash during the last 5 minutes of cooking. It's delicious!

I would love to try this, and I think I'll make it next week. I've got meals planned that will leave extra ingredients perfect for this :]
