Sauteed Veggies

Sauteing works well to not only add a vegetables to a meal but also to add flavor. It's simple to do and they can go on top of many dishes. I enjoy adding sauteed zucchini to grain based dishes like pasta and the mushrooms and onions are delicious on meat like steak and burgers. I also have but it on top of bakes potatoes to add a more savory element.

Can be browned more if desired
Zucchini: Melt butter in a saute pan place peeled and sliced zucchini into melted butter, sprinkle with garlic. flip once browned and repeat. Add more butter as needed. Some  may burn more than other due to burning butter.

Mushrooms: Similarly, melt butter in  a saute pan and add washed, and sliced mushrooms. I recommend removing the stems. Saute until browned and to desired softness.

Mushrooms before cooking down
Onions (and mushrooms): Melt butter and add finely chopped onion. Saute until softened and add mushrooms, if desired. Continue cooking until onions are caramelized.
