====== Quinoa with Squash and Feta ======
Quick dinner from [[https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/warm-squash-quinoa-salad/|Taste of Home]], minor adjustments. It calls for about half a medium butternut. I used all of a tastier acorn-shaped variant. I was skeptical about the squash cooking so fast on the stove but it did.

===== Ingredients =====
  * 1 cup quinoa
  * 1.5 cups water
  * 2 t cumin
  * 2 T butter
  * 3ish c cubed peeled squash
  * 1 t salt
  * 3/4 t italian seasoning (or some other mix like Mrs. Dash)
  * pepper
  * 1/2 c crumbled feta
  * toasted pine nuts

===== Directions =====
  - Cook the quinoa with the cumin.
  - Meanwhile, brown the butter then add the squash and seasonings. Cook, covered, until tender, 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  - Toss quinoa, squash, feta, and pine nuts.
