Re: Yellow Squash Medallions

Oh, man, yours looks so beautifully golden! I re-printed just the text, below, for those of us who want to print out the recipe.

I'm definitely making this!

Thanks so much, Lucky!

they do look good - printing that out - there seems more squash available than ways to eat it . . .

we have a volunteer squash in the garden - but looks to be acorn....

Well, I'd say I'm more than halfway there with success on this dish.

My coating was tough and chewy, and came away from the squash with the first bite.

I'm not a fan of cornmeal, so don't cook with it often. I would try this again with just flour, I think. Does cornmeal get stale???

Also, I forgot to spray the medallions with Pam before putting them on the rack (I did spray the rack), so the bottoms stuck.

On the plus side:

I loved the Cajun seasonings on these.

The squash was tender and juicy.

The chicken thighs (that I normally cook at 350) that I cooked along with the squash were Fantastic!. I'm going to have to edit my favorite "Mom's Chicken" recipe!

Will try this again!
