Instructions: NOTE: I usually peel one or two squashes and leave them in the fridge, then its very quick to chop bits off for a meal.

Serves one cold and hungry person.

Put squash in trusty saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes or so, until squash is just barely tender. Stir in tomato sauce, salsa, cornmeal, and beans. Layer greens on top (the intent of this is that they steam while the rest of the potful is simmering), and cover with lid. Allow to cook for about 2 minutes and then stir the greens into the stew. Cook for another minute or so until it looks perfect, eat!

Variations: sometimes I add slices of potato at the same time as the squash, and sometimes Ill toss in some frozen corn or prepared hominy out of a can. You can see I am usually in a hurry whilst cooking :-) Finally you may want to add salt - I dont find it to be necessary, myself.
