Summer Squash, Zucchini Parmesan, i.e. Italian Vegetable Medley

Squash , Zucchini Parmesan i.e. Italian Vegetable Medley
*Serves 3 or 4

• 2 TB butter or margarine
• 1 tsp salt, dash of black pepper
• 1/4 cup onion, diced very small [ or 1 TB dried minced- I tried it with onion powder and, bleck, not so good]
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder, or 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced about 1/8-1/4 inch thick, in rounds or half moons
• 1 medium yellow squash, sliced about 1/4-inch thick, [ half moons cook faster]
• 1 medium ripe tomato, chopped
• 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

In a medium pot toss in everything but the cheese. Simmer, covered, over medium heat for  7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender. Once tender, toss the hot mixture with the parmesan cheese and serve.

Thanks to Mel at melskitchencafe.com for the inspiration for this recipe, though I doctored it some. I admit I stole her photo, because mine just always look less than appetizing.

This is AWESOME with the  Chicken Parmesan recipe I have on here. I mean awe-some!!
