BROCCOLI SQUASH BAKE
My grandmother made this when she cooked for our farmhands years ago. I've cut her recipe down to serve fewer people. I like to make this side dish when my garden is bursting with fresh vegetables and into the fall, when the colors and taste blend into the season. -Mildred Sherrer, Bay City , Texas

SQUASH AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
Meet the Cook: The first summer that my husband and I were retired, we had an abundance of squash. I was raised on a farm and taught nothing should go to waste, so I hunted in my recipe file and found this one. I've made it often ever since. Cooking's one of my favorite ways to have fun...if I live to be 100, I am sure there will still be many recipes in my "to-do" file. We also enjoy travel - with three children and eight grandchildren scattered, it's a good thing! -Erlene Cornelius, Spring City, Tennessee

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices for the best flavor. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and blemish-free.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients.
- Use a flavorful cooking oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices for sautéing vegetables. They add a nice flavor and help to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
- Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good basic seasonings for vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Make the ginger butter ahead of time: The ginger butter can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
This squash and broccoli with ginger butter is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The vegetables are cooked to perfection and the ginger butter adds a flavorful and unique touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
