I tossed this together as a side for dinner because Zo said, "We have those patty pan squashes you told me to buy and you have not used them." So I made them up but because we liked them so much we decided to save some for breakfast the next day. They were very tasty with both meals; Zo scarfed hers down so fast you would have never know they were even on her plate! That is really unusual for her, usually I am the one that you would think never ate because my food is gone as soon as it hits my plate! I really hope you enjoy!
