Butternut squash is in abundance right now and I love the creamy smooth texture and flavor. Pair this with the nutty graininess of quinoa and you have a win win dish! I did not want to make…

Guilt-free Chicken Nuggets, Oh Yeah

Guilt-free Chicken Nuggets, Oh Yeah by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Most kids love McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. I’m sure many grown-ups do too. But, they are so unhealthy! Happily, not my skinny ones!
