Instructions

In a 10 or 12 inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Use a sharp knife to chop off the ends of the zucchini and squash. Chop them into chunks. Think 1/2 or 3/4 inch chunks, rather than slices.
When the oil shimmers, add the squash and zucchini.
Sauté for about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and thyme.
Take it off the heat when the squash is fork tender but hasn't started to get mushy. Nobody likes mush.
Eat hot!

Notes

Let the veggies cool to room temperature, then transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in short bursts until heated through. Unfortunately, you can´t freeze this as the texture of the squash will become mushy once thawed.
