All I've gotta say is that my 18 month old LOVED it! He gobbled every bite and wanted seconds. We've been experimenting in the kitchen lately to find kid friendly crockpot recipes, and this one is the best I've made! Oh yeah, the adults in the house also loved it. Only substitution was for light cream cheese and 8 oz package of presliced mushrooms. We served it on a cauliflower-potatoe puree. Will DEFINITELY make again!

What a great way to eat squash! I love soups in general, but frankly, this was one of the best soups I've ever made!! My 17 month old loved it which is pretty amazing since I served him cubed butternut squash the day before and he was spitting it out. As a modification, I cooked the squash in the microwave, only put in 1 tub (8 oz) of light cream cheese (I couldn't imagine putting in 2!), used canned chicken broth and pureed with a hand mixer right in the microwave bowl. Like others have mentionned, the only time consuming task was peeling and cubing the squash, but it is soooo worth it!

Who could not just LOVE this chocolate cake!! I found myself picking at it all weekend, so I had to freeze it so to avoid the temptation! I served this as a desert at a BBQ and it was a great hit. The non zucchini eaters were even fond of it! I made some substitutions however: 1/2 cup pureed prunes to replace 1/2 cup of the butter, only used 3/4 of the requested amount of sugar and finally made less glaze with less sugar and less orange juice. The only thing I would change for the next time is put more orange rind in the mixture!
