We are getting all settled into our new town and our new house! And I'm back to cookin' again! It feels great :)
We love being back closer to home for many reasons...but ONE reason is for all the fresh garden vegetables we are getting from family and friends!! YUM! My plan is to start our own garden this coming year..I"m VERY excited!
Anyways....we got some Garden Summer Squash this week and I have NEVER tried it, let alone cooked it...can you believe it?! SO I looked on Pinterest for some recipes and I tried 2 :). The first one I tried was Baked. The second one was Sauteed. They were both pretty good! Tyler didn't care for the Baked version. But i LOVED them Sauteed....LOTS of flavoring!!
Here they are!

1- Slice the squash and boil until tender. (About 15 minutes) Drain, and mash.
2-Preheat oven to 375
3- Combine mashed squash, 1/2 of the butter, onion, eggs, sugar, salt and pepper. Place into a casserole dish.
