  • 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts or walnuts

I love that you added butternut squash to this enchilada sauce! What a flavor (and nutrition) bonus! I’m pretty sure this is going to be good on ALL.THE.FOODS but my first instinct is to pour it over some enchiladas and then use the extra in some sort of turkey and veggie enchilada soup. Mmm, the possibilities! Techlazy.com

Never thought to put roasted tomatoes into a salad, but of course it goes so well with the roasted squash. I added roasted beets since I had some. Don’t have pine nuts; subbed pecans. For the dressing, I didn’t have orange/juice and the stores don’t yet have frozen or fresh cranberries, so I reconstituted dried with hot water. Made my own balsamic dressing with a bit of Dijon mustard. Added strips of grilled tempeh (I’m really not obsessed with protein, but just wanted to use it up). Techlazy.com
