Classy Cooking for the College Kids!

College is tough! A lot of times, we live off of ramen noodles or, if you're my amazing roommate, stock up on the Ragu and elbow macaroni. I hope with this blog to not only cater to the typical college student by providing delicious meals that are quick, easy, and make plenty of leftovers to take to school the next day! A lot of my recipes come straight from my grandmother's family cookbook (cause everyone loves to have that comfort food!) but I have many that come from dear friends as well. I want to hear about your recipes and why they're you're favorite. Food brings people together, so let's make it something enjoyable! I'll have everything from healthy salads to delicious desserts, so take a look around as I post.

Squash Medley

This is a fun side dish to add! It's bright, festive, and definitely adds color to a meal (plus a flavorful punch!) I love pairing this with a good salad or some chicken.


What You'll Need:
2-3 yellow squash
1/2 yellow onion
garlic
butter (or vegetable oil, but I think butter gives it a better flavor)
2 Roma tomatoes
2-3 mushrooms
salt


Ready, Set, Saute!
Melt the butter and throw in the garlic. Slice up the squash (pretty thin slices so it goes farther, you can even cut them in half too) and the onion (doesn't matter how big or small you slice your onion really). Slice up your mushrooms and throw them in too. Saute them for a while until their either soft or they start to brown (personal preference). After they have cooked for a while, slice up your tomatoes and throw them in as well just so you can get the flavor. You don't want it to be too liquidy. Put in as much or as little salt as you want, that one kind of depends, but its always safer to do less (I put in about 1/2 tsp).  Remember, it's fun to experiment with stuff like this. If you feel like you want to try zucchini instead of squash or maybe throw in some broccoli or other spices, go for it and tell us how it came out! Enjoy!
