This recipe modification was a patient inspired project of mine. The Sydney Squash dish was always one of his favorites, which was served at the Augusta Golf Masters in Augusta, Georgia, every year.  "I know that there is nothing healthy about it, but it is to die for and you have to try it!"  Now that I am growing squash in my garden, I decided to modify the original recipe to make it healthier.  In my opinion, "this version remains to die for!"  Squash is a great source of Vit C, Riboflavin (B2), Vit B6, Manganese, Potassium, and low-fat vegetable source.  I hope that you enjoy it!
