Chatty, It sounds delicious but I'm not sure what pattypan squash is. Can I use Zucchini?

TVC15, what I think pattypan squash is those little scalloped ones that fit in the palm of your hand. I have some in my fridge right now so this would be a great recipe!! (gotta get some beets though.) They're a little firmer than zucchini but similar taste.

I would probably put this recipe over spaghetti. That way my husband would eat it too

Cuz, that sounds sooo delish!!!! Is that from THE cookbook? Is it one of Grandma's recipes? I will be trying it out real soon.

Meredith, good idea about putting it on spaghet!

Yes it is one of the recipes in the cookbook but alas not tally Grandmas. I spiced it up a bit. Yes you can use zuccini if you want to and pappypan squash are the little ones also called coin squash in some circles...Bon-a-petite ladies and yes this would be great over spaghetti too.

Thanks Chatty,
I'll give it a try! That cookbook must be a goldmine of recipes. I like the old ones. My Mom has one and all of us girls are fighting over who will get it when that day comes. I think I should be the one, since I'm the oldest! I'm not ususally like that at all but there are some things worth fighting for!

Chatty, thanks. Your food always sounds scrumptious.

I love cook books too! I've had to purge them in recent years. Before I gave them away I copied my favorite recipes.

Hey Chatty, thanks for the recipe. I'll have to get MOH to try it out!
I wanted to let you know that your feed an animal site is not going unnoticed. I click whenever I chance upon one of your posts or replies.
I am an animal lover to the core. Heck, I do the "catch and release" thingy with houseflies. All God's creatures are safe in my hands.
Thank you for making the site available!

Chickadee thanks to you from the little ones that can't thank you themselves, they aren't all as talented or gabby as Sammie the Parrot...
