- 1 yellow onion peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup celery chopped
- 3 cups butternut squash peeled and chopped
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms chopped, package
- 1/3 cup vegetable broth or bone broth
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa rinsed and drained, dry
- 3 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 Tablespoons sage chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried

Instructions
- Cook quinoa: Add quinoa, water and bay leaf into a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove bay leaf.
- Cook veggies: Heat butter in a large skillet. Add onion, garlic and celery and sauté until onion is fragrant and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add butternut squash, broth, sage, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper to the pan. Cover and let mixture cook for about 5 minutes, then remove top and simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing most of the broth to evaporate. You'll know it's done when the butternut squash is cooked through and fork tender. Remove from heat.
- Mix Everything Together: Add cooked quinoa into a large bowl and top with cooked veggie mixture and dried cranberries to the quinoa. Stir to combine, taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Transfer mixture into a 9x13 baking dish, top with chopped pecans and bake for 20 minutes or until pecans are golden brown and toasted. Serve warm.
