Summer Squash Mix Up

I love buying summer squash and so does my mother-in-law.  During the summer, on any given day, my mother in law will show up at my house with a bag of rustic, dirty, imperfect squash that no doubt will get eaten with grilled chicken or pork chops.  If you are a lover of squash, this is how I suggest you cook them.

2 yellow squash
1 zucchini
1 can diced tomatoes (drained)
1 medium white onion
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Wash and slice your squash and zucchini into round pieces about a quarter inch thick.  Cut your onion in long thin slices.  Melt your butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Toss in all of your veggies and your drained can of tomatoes.  Cover with a lid and let it simmer for about 15-25 minutes depending on your desired consistency of your vegetables.  Remember to occasionally stir your veggies.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

I would take this side dish any day with a piece of grilled chicken and a nice cold salad!  Enjoy!
