Spinach Salad

Baked Sweet Potatoes
1. Spinach Salad with lemon/oil dressing, tomatoes on mine and craisins on B's
2. Quinoa Squash Casserole
It turned out SO tasty. I will definitely make this again. It was filling without being heavy.
Here is where I found the recipe: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/quinoa_squash_casserole.html
The recipe called for a lot of spices so I was unsure how it would turn out, but I can see why the spices are necessary to counteract the bland quinoa. We also had to puree a fresh butternut squash because Safeway did not have frozen. I will definitely be doing that more often. All it took was cutting it in half, baking it with a little baby bit of water for a while, then spooining out into the blender.
3. Sweet Potatoes
These almost acted as a dessert because we baked them with a sweet candy topping. It was a mixture of melted butter, vanilla, and brown sugar. Then on top of that I had crumbled pecans. These were super easy to make but took a while in the oven.
Here is the messy counter with a few of the ingredients used.
