Black Bean & Butternut Squash Dinner

Black Beans, butternut squash, and broccoli are healthy choices that can be made quickly. Sometimes you are in a hurry and just need to make something simple, yet healthy for dinner. I baked a butternut squash, opened a can of organic black beans, steamed some broccoli, opened a jar of salsa and called it a day. 

It looked pretty, was satisfying and tasted good, and was healthy. 

End of story!
