It also negates the necessity of having that confounded {insert cuss words here} Word Verification control on. Now . . . on with the recipe:
Smothered Squash
6 medium-small yellow squash cut in 1/4-inch rounds
1 medium white or Vidalia onion cut in thin rings
Olive or coconut oil
1 tsp. sugar of half a packet of sweetener
Saute onions in oil for about 10 minutes or until they turn clear. Add in squash and stir. Season with sea salt, black pepper and a sprinkle of garlic powder to taste. Cover and simmer on medium low for about 20 minutes or until squash is "fall apart" tender. Serves 6.
Easy, quick, delicious!
We're eating healthier and getting in some exercise in the Ledbetter household, and that extends to the S.O.'s of said family. Last week, daughter's sweet boyfriend cooked this chicken for us, and it was deeeee-licious!

Yay, it's Friday! Hope you have a few laughs this weekend. :D Here's a little humor to get you started right ~~~
A blonde needs some stamps for Easter cards she's mailing out, so goes to the post office for her purchase.
She asks the clerk, "May I have 50 Easter stamps with cute little bunnies or pretty flowers on them, please?"
The clerk asks, "What denomination?"
The blonde swings her long hair, digs a calculator out of her purse and starts calculating. Finally she says in a snide voice, "Well! Has it come to this? Give me 22 Catholics, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran, and 6 Baptists."
