Butternut Squash & Quinoa Dinner

A friend brought us dinner recently when Hubs had surgery. It was so nice not having to think about fixing dinner after a long day. We've had occasions in the past that meals were offered and we usually decline. Due to our menu limitations most people don't want to tackle making a meal.

And we get it. It's challenging for us and we live it every day. This friend was willing to make a safe meal for us and succeeded! It was a simple vegetarian dinner and delicious.

I love simple meals that don't need much prep time. This definitely fit the bill. Missed getting a picture of it, so you'll have to use your mind's eye!
