Friday Favorites

I thought that I would start a new feature - Friday Favorites! I will be posting my favorites whether it's kitchen tools, products, recipes, etc. 

Today I am leaving you with a recipe that is a childhood favorite. My mom made it often in the summer and it's so delicious! I even have a funny story about it - so my mom was out of town for work. Dad decided he was going to make it. I think we helped with the vegetable cutting and all that. Now you need to understand, when my mom makes something up she doesn't write it down so my dad was trying to make this from memory, bless his heart. Well he got a little crazy with the garlic and put waaaaayyyyy too much in. There was so much garlic in it that it was spicy! We told him that it was delicious and tried to eat it. It was seriously garlicky! So I have fond memories of this and I hope you love it, too!

PS - It doesn't really have a name so I just call it Summer Squash and Corn Succotash.
