Sara 76's Note:

I love yellow squash, but it seems to be really hard to come by! I was so excited when I was buying groceries this afternoon and they had beautiful fresh squash in stock! They are delicious no matter how you cook them, but this is what i came up with tonight, and they were amazing!

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best! Loved the contrast in colors between the squash and the spinach. This was perfect after a long workday....very little work involved with delicious results.
