Summer Squash Sauté



Summer Squash Sauté



  • Olive oil – 3-4 T or more
  • 5 or 6 large yellow, kousa or zucchini squash
  • 1 large sweet yellow or sweet onion
  • Garlic (a few cloves, if desired)
  • Fresh herbs (if desired)




Thinly slice squash and onion. If adding garlic, peel and dice.  Heat olive oil in a large 12-14 inch skillet. Add squash, onions and garlic and stir. NOTE:  the pan will be really full, so I would advise using the largest one you have (or use less squash).
Depending upon how much you like the squash cooked down, you can cover with a lid for the first part of the cooking to soften up the squash. If you like it “al  dente,” then omit this step and just stir-fry.




Remove the lid and continue cooking the squash down until all the water is gone and it reaches desired doneness.  I like it browned a bit, but that requires a lot of stirring to make sure it doesn’t stick and burn. When the squash reaches desired doneness, stir in some freshly chopped herbs like chives, basil or whatever you like.  Salt and pepper to taste.




NOTE:  cooked squash can be frozen and microwaved later if you want to save some for later.

Paleo Pancakes


4 eggs (5 if they're small)
3/4 cup of Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1/3 cup almond flour
2 scoop protein powder
1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix the above in a bowl and put into a pan on a med/high heat.

Once the edges start to look done ( you might see a few bubble in the top as well) I drop some fresh blueberries on a topping (sometimes walnuts as well).

Then I put it into the oven (at 375 for about 5 minutes) to finish it cooking.

You can top it with Agave syrup or if you're not shy about dairy, butter and homemade whip cream are awesome as well!

Spinach Parmesan



2 pkgs. frozen, chopped spinach (cook according to package directions)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tblsp. sour cream
2 1/2 tblsp. butter, melted
2 1/2 tblsp. finely chopped onion
(I add a little garlic)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Drain spinach well in a colander, pressing with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
combine spinach, cheese, and remaining ingredients; spoon into lightly greased 1-quart baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
