Bean and Butternut Squash Skillet

This is an easy skillet recipe that you can throw together and cook in about 20 minutes. It uses a few ingredients that I think you should always have in your fridge and pantry!

What you'll need:

• 1-2 cups of cubed butternut squash. (The smaller you cube it, the quicker it cooks. I like it CHUNKY)
• 1/2 cup of red kidney beans (rinsed)
• 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa
• 2-3 mushrooms (sliced)
• 1/2 cup of chopped baby spinach
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• Salt and pepper

What to do:

At a medium heat, cook the squash and mushrooms for 5-10 minutes in the oil (until tender, time will vary depending on the size of the squash cubes). Once the squash is at the desired tenderness add the beans, quinoa, baby spinach, and a little salt and pepper. Toss it around for a minute or two to heat up the beans. Now eat it.

If you're looking to cut some of the carbs you could omit the quinoa.

Stay healthy,

Shawn
