Here is how you make Quinoa with Butternut, Mushrooms and Kale:

1. Preheat oven to 400?. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside. Peel, seed and chop the butternut squash into 1″ cubes. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a bit of salt & pepper, then place on prepared cookie sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Remove from oven and set aside.2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the garlic and onions and saut? until fragrant and softened. Next, add the mushrooms and balsamic vinegar, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the chopped kale, and mix well.

Toss this into the mushroom & kale mixture and mix well. Next, add about 1 1/2 cups of the roasted squash and mix in gently. Lastly, mix in the dried cranberries (if you?ll be using them).4.
