SQUASH, POTATOES AND ONIONS- OH MY!
A wonderful side dish that I make as soon as the yellow squash start coming in. When I first started making this about 30 years ago, I used the bacon grease. I found I like the margarine better and I like the squash to cook so that you have a few browned pieces in. Oooohh, that gives it so much flavor!

SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS
We enjoy this dish all year long and it goes well with any entrée! It is one of the ways my mother liked to prepare yellow squash for our family. The yellow color helps make a pretty plate. I have found that a combination of butter and olive oil is great for sautéing (Paula Deen agrees). Purchase small fresh squash.

Steps:
- Cut squash into thin slices. Spread slices out onto paper towels. Salt and allow to "sweat". After 10 minutes blot with paper towel. Flip slices over and repeat with salt and blot after 10 minutes. This allows salt to flavor squash and releases water for better sautéing.
- In a 10 inch saucepan combine olive oil and butter. Lightly sauté onion first and set aside into small bowl.
- In same saucepan sauté squash on low heat until tender. Before removing from heat add sautéed onions and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Note: For best flavor use a sweet onion.
SKILLET CROOKNECK SQUASH AND ONIONS
We. Love. Squash. Simple, with only 3 other ingredients, besides salt and pepper, this recipe sets off the delicious, slightly sweet flavor of crookneck or summer squash. Mom used to stew squash, but this vegetable releases a lot of water when it cooks, so I don't add any water. The long, slow cooking helps to release the natural sugars in the onion and the squash. You can add additional herbs or seasonings, if you like, or cook it for less time to make it firmer, but this is how we do it. Just squash.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Using a fork, pierce the squash in several places and place it in a roasting pan. Bake for 40 minutes, turn and bake for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, until the squash is tender when pressed with a finger. Turn the oven off and leave the squash there until needed.
- Meanwhile, bring a small pot 2/3-filled with water to a boil. Cut a sliver off the root end of each of the onions and boil them for 1 minute. Drain and plunge them into a bowl of cold water. When cool, peel the onions and cut the larger ones in half.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, toss to coat and sprinkle with sugar. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the onions color, about 10 minutes. Add the parsnip, carrot, thyme and sage, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until the onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and return it to the heat. Add the garlic and the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Return the vegetables to the pan and add the diluted tomato paste and the soy sauce. Continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender, then add the stock and cook for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and cover the pan.
- Cut the cooked squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. With a fork, comb to separate the squash strands and toss them with butter and salt and pepper to taste, and lift out of the shell. Divide the squash among 4 dinner plates, spoon the vegetables around the squash, garnish with parsley and serve.
