Squash and Onions

Between my grandmothers and my mom, someone always had a garden going.  I rarely remember us buying vegetables from a store because we could always count on someone growing what we ate! I remember going with my great-grandmother to her garden helping her pick okra, tomatoes, purple peas, greens, etc. Let me tell yall how country we were, we ate tomatoes like apples!  When we took a break from picking, we'd take a couple those tomatoes we'd just picked, wipe it off with a towel, sprinkle with salt and pepper and chow down!  Store bought tomatoes, and vegetables in general, ain't got nothing on home grown vegetable goodness!



Yellow squash and green onions were no exception.  This side takes minimal time in the kitchen to prep and packs tons of flavor. The final product didnt last long as we ate it out of the pan...#Greedy


What you need:
  • 1-2 yellow squashes, sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions, diced
  • 1 Tbs olive oil OR butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste (I leave the salt out...we gotta watch our intake round these parts)

What to do:
  • Place the oil in a medium sautee pan over medium high heat
  • Place squash in oil. Season with spices and let it cook for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the diced green onions, stir then cover pan for about 2 minutes to finish cooking the vegetables by steaming them.
 Cook.Eat.Repeat.
