Simple summer squash


Squash is another one of those vegetables that I hadn't truly explored until adulthood. Like a good man, squash has many good qualities: variety, beauty, and ease.

To create a simple side, skin the squash. Make sure to take off all of the outer layer; leaving the skin on sometimes turns bitter (in my opinion). Slice and butter up the pan (this is one of the rare occasions when I absolutely vote for butter over olive oil). Throw in the slices and saute for a few minutes. Sprinkle on freshly ground pepper and kosher salt, and serve. Delicious!
