3.  Heat butter, water & brown sugar in a 10" skillet until warm and bubbly...add veggies and stir until coated.

Yummy!!!  This will be veggies for about 2 - 3 meals for my family.  Planning to freeze it in meal size containers and use as needed in the future!

3rd I made:  Butternut Squash boiled and baked

1 large butter nut squash
2 tbsp butter

Baked
1.  Preheat oven to 425degrees F.
2.  Slice top of squash and put on cookie sheet; chop the butter and put a small square on each slice.

Boiled
1.  Boil 2 - 4 cups of water.
2.  Cut bottom of squash in half and remove seeds and fibers.  Cut in quarters and boil for 20 - 30min until tender.

I plan to freeze the baked squash for future meals and serve as needed.  I plan to make a butternut squash puree soup with the boiled squash and freeze it for future meals.

Whooo hoooo!! Nothing like getting all the dishes dirty on pizza night - LOL!
