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

This one was surprisingly more delicious than I anticipated. I love squash and zucchini. I wasn't sure if 3/4 cup rice would be enough, but it was. The flavor is a perfect balance of buttery goodness and vegetables.
