Basic Sauteed Squash

Today's recipe isn't an exact science, and is one that is easily tailored to your taste. (see how I inserted tailored...kinda like Taylor...hehe) Anyhow, sauteed squash was (and still is) a summer staple with the Taylor family.

Here's what you need. Butter/margarine, onion, pepper, squash, salt and pepper.

 Chop the squash, onion and pepper.

 Put it in the pan over medium heat. Add salt, pepper and some butter. (obviously the more butter the better it tastes, but if you're going for health just use a couple tablespoons)

 Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until squash is tender. I usually cover it for most of the cooking time so the juices stay.

 And you have a wonderful side dish!! I love that there are lots of variations to this basic recipe. Mom always stuck with squash, zucchini and onion. I find the peppers add nice color if you are only making squash. I usually keep the spices basic with salt and pepper, but adding garlic is a yummy option too!
