Gwen's Original Squash Casserole

"This dish has been a staple on Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. I don't remember my mom making squash any other way. I just know that when I tried it as a child for the first time I remember how delicious it was. A Thanksgiving without it is not a real Thanksgiving at my house. Other's have tried to duplicate it and failed. There is only one way to make it and this is it. Don't substitute or change anything, follow the directions to a "T". Enjoy!"

  1. Nov. 30, 2008 Served for the first time this Thanksgiving and my guests asked for the recipe. It's good. easy, and presents very well. Leftovers are great, too.
     
  2. This was good but missing something. I would make it again with garlic and I think adding crisp bacon to it would be yummy. Of course, everything is better with bacon! The squash was declicious. With a few spices, it would be WOW! Thanks for sharing a good recipe.
     
  3. EXCELLENT vegetable dish! This is one of my favorite ways to prepare squash and I am sure we will have it again and again. The herbed stuffing make the flavors of this dish. Even leftovers are delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Prepared as a participant in the Spring 2008 PAC Event.

<p>Greatest of all, I am a Mom! The true miracle in my life so far is my beautiful daughter, Emily Rose. She is the joy of my life. My husband and I were blessed after nine years of marriage to finally be able to have her. I am also an artist. I love to paint with acrylics and I also use colored pencils. Perfectionist is my middle name. I am passionate about cooking. I love to cook for my daughter (who at almost three years old is not the easiest to please at the moment) and my husband, Tim. I have been more excited about cooking since discovering Recipezaar. It makes cooking and shopping for the ingredients easier. I just started adding some of my favorite recipes to the site and can't wait to see if anyone tries them. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get "good" reviews. <br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" /></p>
