This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less brown sugar.

This recipe was okay, but I've had better. The squash was a bit dry and the flavors were not very pronounced.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my squash turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more herbs and spices. The squash was also a bit undercooked.
