Pork, zucchini, and yellow squash stew

Hello my dear readers! I am so sorry I've been MIA from my blog. I've been busy with traveling and a new job. Yes, I came out if "retirement" haha. I started working as a salesperson at a plumbing supply company. I know, weird, but, I am after all a plumbers daughter. I've been working there for 6 weeks now. I do like working there. It is something new for me. I went from being a nanny for 12 yrs to a salesperson at a plumbing supply. How did that happen? I have no idea...but I like it so far!

Anyhow, I get to come home and make dinner for the hubs and I. Tonight I made a special meal my mom used to make us when we were younger. It's healthy and delicious, so props to my mom!

So here's the recipe!
