Summer Squash and Zucchini

 

So many things remind me of summer. A cool crisp watermelon, homemade ice cream, grilled burgers and corn, sprinklers, water balloon fights, smores, fresh garden tomatoes, and squash & zucchini!! Is that just me? 

I don't know what it is but I just crave yellow squash and zucchini in the summer. Thank goodness because it just so happens to be in season, there's an abundance, AND it's quite a bit cheaper. 

This recipe is SO easy and it's ready in a snap. It's full of flavor and a little bit of cheese really makes the dish complete. 

Try it and I know it will become one of your summer faves!

This recipe makes two - four servings (we eat a lot so it tends to be the lower end), add more squash and zucchini if you are making this for more people or really hungry people.

Ingredients:

·     1 yellow squash

·     1 zucchini

·     ¼ c. onion, chopped

·    1 tbsp olive oil

·     ¼ c. cheese

·     Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic powder to taste

Directions:

1.   Cut the ends off the squash and zucchini. Cut down the middle, then  small slices about ¼”.

2.  Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium high heat. When ready, sauté onion until it starts to become translucent, 3-4 minutes.

3.   Add chopped squash and zucchini and sauté a few minutes. You will want to warm it through, but don’t overcook as it will get mushy.

4.   Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

5.   Add cheese before serving.

MEAL IDEA: I served the squash and zucchini with meatball subs. It was the perfect pairing. YUM!
