About Me

My photo
I was raised by my father (God rest his soul) in the valley of Nebraska. The background picture is of the Scottsbluff National Monument I took on a trip home... Thank Goodness I had Czech & German Grandmother's and Aunt's who taught me how to cook, sew and overall be the most giving person ever. The lady in this picture is my Aunty. She passed from Alzheimer's a few years ago. and was a huge influence on who I am and how I love. She and My Best Friend inspired this blog... I don't want anything to be forgotten!

Chayote Squash

Diva’s Memories of Recipes
Chayote Squash
Inspiration: On a shopping trip to a new local store in Florida, my daughter and I found these squash and decided to try them.  I searched for recipes online and found one and modified it to our liking.  It's an instant hit in our house.
Ingredients:
2 Chayote squash, sliced lengthwise in 1 in strips
2 TB olive oil
1 tsp chopped Garlic
dash of salt
dash of black pepper
1 TB white sugar
2 TB vinegar
Instructions: In medium sauce pan, heat olive oil and add garlic and Chayote squash.  Salt and pepper and cook approx 10 min til tender but crunchy.  Sprinkle sugar and vinegar over squash and cook an additional 2-3 mins.

Variation: some recipes use lime juice instead of vinegar.
