Vegetables?

How many vegetables did you eat yesterday? How about this morning? Sometimes we can get too wrapped up in our protein (meat!) and forget about vegetables in all their nutrient dense glory.  This doesn't mean you need to be gnawing on carrot sticks all day, but you should be getting AT LEAST one serving of a nutrient dense vegetable(s) with each meal.  Check out the recipe below for an interesting way to prepare yellow squash.  Enjoy!
