Answer 2

Squash Stir Fry:
Cut up some summer squash, zuccini, onion, and porobella mushrooms in a large bowl. Add about 1/4 c white wine, a 3 T of lemon juice, and about 1-2 T of italian seasoning. Toss to coat. Saute in pan for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how you like your veggies cooked.

A variation: Add cut up steak or chicken (brown the meat first) to the mix and spread evenly in a baking pan. Top with crumbled feta cheese and then broil about 10 minutes until the veggies are done and the cheese is nice and browned.

Answer 4

Squash
Tomatoes
hamburger meat
velveta cheese

Cut the squash in round circles, about a 1/2 in thick. Cut tomatoes in wedges, then cut the wedges in half.

Put the squash and the tomatoes in a bowl and set aside.

Brown hamburger meat and season to your liking. Once the meat is brown drain thoroughly

Put the squash and the tomatoes in a large pot, medium heat, do not add water, squash is high in water and it will be mushy if you add more. Once the squash and tomatoes start to get soft, add the hamburger meat, low heat. Stir very sparingly as you will cause the squash to become mush, just enough to keep it from stickin. When the squash and tomatoe is almost completely soft, take off the flame and add cubed velveta cheese, stir only enought to get the cheese down into it. cover and let sit until cheese is melted. Enjoy it tastes bomb.
