Cooking with StyleGamblers - Stuffed butternut squash

Stuffed butternut squash

 When the weather gets colder, we are all looking for some comfort foods and I'm not gonna lie, I'm no different. That's why I decided to prepare something healthy, nutricious and veeery comforting.

Because fall is always the time when I'm obsessed with butternut squash, it was obvious for me to use it today. The squash is stuffed with quinoa and kale. Quinoa was my love from the first bite, but I wasn't so crazy about kale. But because it's loaded in vitamins and minerals I decided to give it another chance. Forget about all those kale chips and salads, this is the way you should treat this veggie.

Hope you gonna like it as much as I did:)
