Hurry! Before this goes bad!

During my last trip to the grocery store, I bought a bunch of produce and almost forgot about all of it until tonight while scavenging through my fridge. I didn't want it to all go to waste so I took everything out of the drawer to see what I could create for dinner, in attempt to save the poor veggies before they turned fuzzy! yuck.

I cut up a little bit of everything that was living in my produce drawer: red potatoes, onion, zucchini, squash, mushrooms and ripped up some basil leaves.

(I bet you my mom is reading this and chuckling to herself
due to the fact that I would fight trying mushrooms for about 23.5 years
of my life... and yes, those are mushrooms. In my kitchen. Sshh!)

I started out by cooking the red potatoes in a little bit of olive oil (and some pepper) to brown them up a bit. Once they got some color, I moved them outta the way to make room for the mushrooms. Threw in a tiny bit more olive oil in the center with some sea salt and placed the mushrooms in the center of the pan. Then I added the two things that cause these fungi freaks to taste quite... uhm... delicious:

After creating an amazing fancy version of Macaroni and Cheese, I have learned that sauteing the mushrooms with Cream Sherry does the trick of turning those bad boys into something quite tasty. And of course, you can never go wrong with garlic!

Once the mushrooms were sauteed nicely, I moved those aside to make room for the onions. Once the onions were a little brown and began to soften, I added the zucchini and squash to the mix and topped it with the torn up basil leaves:


I used a little dash of each of these to season everything up a bit. I covered the pan for a few minutes to let it all cook (on medium-low heat) to let the zucchini and squash soften up. PS: This smelt amazing!! Once it all had a chance to cook through, I dished some up and topped it off with a little bit of cheese. I used Feta cheese, but I think some Parmesan or maybe even some Goat cheese would have been a better choice (although, the Feta wasn't bad!).

Ta-Da! Not too bad for a last minute, hurry and use everything
up type of meal! It was quick, healthy and... tasted really good! :)
