With the season changing to chilly weather there is nothing better than curling up on the couch with a bowl of something hot to warm you up. This lentil squash stew will do just that and it’s so hearty it will leave everyone in the family nice and full. Packed with protein from the beans, quinoa and lentils this is sure to be a fall favorite. We like to serve ours with a roll or garlic toast so soak up all the yummy juices!
Again I have been all about easy lately as I am navigating being a new mom and doing things with only one hand and even using my leg to prop things up (like my newborn 😅). Mama life ain’t easy y’all!
But this dish totally is! It’s one pot, 45 minute, throw whatever you have in your cupboard type stew and it’s so yummy!
