We all love kale, right? LOL definitely not….there are not many dishes with kale in it that I have honestly enjoyed. I can probably count them on a single hand and the majority are in the form of a caesar salad with only a portion of kale actually in it. But kale doesn’t have to be disgusting and resemble chewing on grass. When prepared properly it is actually really good and it has so many health benefits. This kale is cooked to wilt it a bit, but still leaves a little crunch, but you won’t be chewing it for hours. The garlic and lemon add a subtle flavor and the acid in the lemon helps break down the kale to make it edible. This dish is so tasty and colorful you won’t want to stop eating it! I coated the butternut squash in cinnamon for even more fall feels, because cinnamon and fall basically go hand and hand and I was not about to coat it in pumpkin spice – that has its place and it is not in my bowl (at least not this one). This bowl is also warm and hearty and will definitely fill you up without leaving you feeling sluggish and tired, but fueled and satisfied.

- 5 Cups Kale
- 2 Cups Cauliflower
- 2 Cups Butternut Squash, Cubed
