If you are from the south, and have ever had a backyard garden, there is a high likelihood that you’ve had creamed yellow squash. This is such a quintessential southern comfort food. Nana had this often as a child to “use up” the squash from the garden. Back then she didn’t like it, but she has learned to love this recipe with many of her other garden-fresh recipes.
