Sauteed Squash and Zucchini
Vegetables always taste better in the summer, don't they? Doesn't matter if they're from your own garden, a farmer's market, or your local grocer, summertime vegetables are always just a little bit sweeter and flavorful. Sauteed Squash and Zucchini is among my favorites in the summer. It's fast, easy, and tastes great. It's even better if you happen to have some summer squash growing in your garden, like we do.
I will often add cheese because I have to entice the kidlets to eat it! And, of course, everything is better with cheese! So if you want to add cheese, I suggest mozzarella or Parmesan. Sprinkle about a half cup over the sauteed squash and zucchini right in the pan.
