Butternut squash part 2

The soup is set, now on to the quinoa bowl. I used the left over roasted squash, kale (which I always have on hand), feta and cranberries. Oh! And the left over chicken broth.

I used about a half cup of tricolor quinoa and about a cup of broth. I needed to add a splash of water so I had enough liquid. I also added a pinch of thyme to the liquid because it’s yummy.

I quickly washed up some baby kale I had in the fridge. It will get thrown into the quinoa during the last few minutes of cooking.

Now I just mixed in the squash, feta, and cranberries. It is good to go!
