Fannie Farmer's The Boston Cooking School Cookbook is THE classic American cookbook. It was always within reach in my mom's kitchen when I was growing up, its yellowed pages delicate and frayed from frequent use. If my mom said, "Go get Fannie Farmer," I knew exactly what she meant. So when I decided to do a cookbook challenge blog, cooking 365 recipes in a year, it was only natural that I looked to Fannie. Her many basic recipes make it a perfect fit for someone just learning to cook.

Sauteed Summer Squash and Zucchini with Onions
Remember my sauteed summer squash from the other day? Well, this is another way to do it. This was more like the one my mom used to make when we were kids, though she didn't use zucchini in hers. But, I'm trying to use up what we have, so this was another good option.
I served this with pork chops and apple zucchini bread. It's an easy side dish for just about any meat.
You will need:
2-3 tbsp. butter
1 small zucchini
1 small yellow crookneck squash
1 small onion
Salt & pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a skillet.
Chop the onion and add to pan. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While onion cooks, half lengthwise (if desired) and slice your zucchini and squash. Add to pan and cook for additional 10 minutes (covered if you like your squash well done, uncovered if you like it al dente), stirring occasionally.
