Vegetarian butternut squash chili con carne

A huge favorite in our home is chili con carne which I usually make with low-fat minced turkey or pork. But this one is so special and not just because of the squash, but it is also made with lentils, so you get your protein in as well. It is soo good, you need to try it!

Butternut squash and carrot mash with salmon

This recipe is really easy and the butternut squash and carrot mash make an excellent side dish! Both carrots and the squash are rich in vitamin A, so this is a really healthy dish with salmon, that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. This mash is also great for children!
