GRILLED ZUCCHINI, ONIONS, AND RED PEPPERS
This is a great recipe to use up all those vegetables that are coming in from the garden about now. Plus, I love to grill, and this just makes it easier to make a complete meal on the grill. These are also good in a pita with garlic mayo or tzatziki sauce! **Prep time does not include the time to get the grill ready for grilling!

SAUTéED SUMMER SQUASH WITH RED PEPPER AND ONION
This is the time of year when, no matter what part of the country you live in, tables at farmers' markets are piled high with summer squash, mounds of it: yellow, light green and dark, round and long. This is a vegetable that expresses itself well in a wide range of dishes; just about every cuisine in the world knows how to show it off. It's an excellent low-calorie food, with only 19 calories per cup of raw squash. This dish is great on its own as a side dish, but it can also be incorporated into many other recipes.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm vegetables: Look for squash and zucchini that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Peppers and onions should also be firm and brightly colored.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For stir-fries, cut the vegetables into thin strips or slices. For roasting, cut them into larger pieces.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: Roasting, sautéing, and stir-frying are all great ways to cook squash, zucchini, peppers, and onions. Each method produces a different flavor and texture.
- Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good basic seasonings for these vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing or roasting.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy. Cook them until they are just tender, but still have a bit of a bite to them.
Conclusion:
Squash, zucchini, peppers, and onions are all versatile vegetables that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. By following these tips, you can cook these vegetables in a way that is both healthy and delicious.
