Butternut Squash Pasta
I was curious about exploring a squash type pasta dish as although I adore squash, I'm not a huge fan of a sweeter flavour profile with my pasta. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this dish! It was extremely easy to whip up on a weeknight, it's creamy and satisfying but you are getting a good dose of vitamins and nutrients in your sauce. Will it replace carbonara? Heck no.

Warm Kale Salad with Brussels
The inspiration for this salad comes from many a dinners at good old Earls Tin Palace. ETP. I think they do a pretty great job at their dinner salads and the warm kale salad is no exception, but I prefer to munch on salad for dinner in the comfort and financial convenience of my home.

This is a great recipe to keep in your back pocket for effortless weeknight dinners. It can be made with any veggies you have in your fridge, however, I'm particularly fond of this combo. And while chard is the star of this dish, broccoli is a close 2nd. I swear I could eat stir fried broccoli almost every day. I feel as though people overlook this green headed vegetable because it's often over cooked/over steamed, and therefore disgusting. When overdone, it's soggy and lose
