    I was getting ready to go to the store, and had been watching this episode before I left. Decided to get the stuff to make this and added it to my list. These were really good!. My two small children (3&4 didn't like them too well, but my 11 year old did. But it's so hard to get them to eat any veggies at all. But my husband and I loved them and next time I'll make enough just for us. They're a great alternative to having a baked potato or other starch with a meal. The small amount of stuffing is ok.

    This is a great recipe. For the others who said that the recipe was bland, you need to taste it before stuffing it. It's ok to try, it's cooked. Others who have said it was too runny, you need to make sure you squeezed the spinach of the excess water - this is very important! Use common sense... I used two cups of stuffing instead of one (for 3 zucchini and 2 yellow squash. Instead of sour cream, I used fat free greek yogurt - 2 single servings. I read the other reviews when they said it was too runny... I used one package of stuffing mix which came out to 2 & 1/4 cups instead of the 1cup in the recipe. I added an extra 1/2 of cheddar cheese to the mix - total of 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese . Sprinkled it lightly with some mozzarella cheese for color at the end. Try it this way... you won't be disappointed.
