I was looking for a quinoa and squash recipe and this looked simple enough. I had an organic butternut squash and precooked it in my pressure cooker in big chunks before dicing into cubes for easier cutting. It seemed to lack in flavor, so I took Shanandrala’s suggestion (thanks!) and added salsa for additional kick. Great recipe if you’re looking for a meal with lots of fiber and protein!

Loved it! The cumin was a great addition. I topped it with salsa and even had the leftovers with a “dippy” egg on top the next morning.
