Quinoa with pine nuts and baked butternut squash with orange

[Guest guest]

Last night I decided to get creative. I made quinoa with caramelized

onion, baked butternut squash with orange, pine nuts and rosemary.

I started with this recipe for the butternut squash...

except I used agave instead of maple syrup because I don't have any maple syrup

in the house right now. I cooked 1 cup of quinoa. Thinly sliced and caramelized

a red onion. Lightly toasted some pine nuts. When the quinoa was done I mixed in

the onions, pine nuts, sea salt and pepper (about a tsp of each), about 5 TBLS

of the juice from the baked squash, and a good shake of dried parsley. Last I

gently stirred in the squash. It tasted good but was still missing something, so

I ground up some rosemary and threw in about a tsp and perfecto! You may like

some garlic in it as well. I'm avoiding garlic so I didn't use any! There's so

much flavor going on that I really don't miss it either!
