ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SAUTEÉD KALE

With the arrival of the Fall, we have received several requests for seasonal recipes. Since this squash and kale are made separately (one roasted, one stove top), you can either eat them separately or combine them. The roasted sweetness of the squash adds great flavor to the kale when mixed, but the vinegar added to the kale when served alone is amazing! It is a beautiful addition to a holiday table, too. You can add the vinegar when mixed, as well, for a sweet and sour taste.

Plan: (Standard & Vegan/Vegetarian)
