Simple Sauteed Zucchini Squash

This is one of those recipes that seems so simple, I forget to write down the recipe. Much less share it with you! For some of you, this will not seem like a big deal. For others, this super simple yet tasty way to get a vegetable on the table is going to be one of your new favorite go-tos! I serve this often, especially when I can’t find any good looking fresh green beans. I often use this same recipe on the grill using a grill basket. Stove top is super quick and easy to clean up. Can’t beat it!
