About

I bought two chipotle seasoned skillet steaks from Trader Joes today, and wanted to use some yellow squash my neighbor had shared with us as a side for the steaks. Mike and I aren't big fans of zucchini or yellow squash, but free veggies are hard to pass up.

I decided to add a Mexican twist to the squash, and surprisingly we both liked it! Maybe it's the spices, fresh lime and cilantro that did the trick.
