    Really good, even using my frozen squash from the summer

  2. Sally W says:

    these are available at trader joe’s already frozen but this version is tsaty and lower carb with the almond meal, so we switched to this one

  3. Julia says:

    good and tasty way to use up that bumper crop everyone experiences every summer (if you grow zucchini!) try it with taco seasoning in the breadcrumbs, too

  4. Anthony says:

    yes, will make again — better than the frozen kind
