Make Your Own: Squash & Potatoes

I bought squash last week and have yet to make it. It's still good, so my goal today was to figure out something yummy for it....

Here's what I'll be trying tonight. I also threw in some potatoes....because they were there and needed to be used!

Wish me luck!  Thank you, Cheap, Healthy, Good!

*Edited to add----it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
