LAZY VERISION

• Opt for precut butternut squash instead of delicata. Use a green like arugula instead of kale so you can skip the massaging.

SUBSTITUTIONS

• Make this recipe Whole30 by eliminating the maple syrup and cheese. Make sure to find unsweetened dried cranberries.

• Sub for delicata squash: buttenut squash

• Sub for sausage: any cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken

• Sub for kale: arugula, any greens

• Sub for microwavable quinoa and rice packet: any microwavable grain will do

• Sub for dried cranberries: raisins

• Sub for parmesan cheese: goat cheese, gorgonzola

STORAGE

• Allow everything to come to room temp and then store in airtight containers.

• You can store the greens separately to keep them fresher. I like using these containers.

• Store the dressing separately. I like using these containers.

REHEATING

• You can eat this hot or cold. I reheated mine for 1 minute.

REDUCE FOOD WASTE

• Leftover kale? It will stay good in the fridge for about a week. After that, you can freeze it! I just stick the whole bag in the freezer. I will add a handful of kale to soups, stews, and curries.

• Leftover cranberries? They’ll stay good for about a year. Add them to salads or baked goods!
