In October, I participated in the Winter Squash Challenge for the group cooking blog I'm a part of. For your viewing pleasure, I've copied and pasted my entry below:

I ended up making a huge quinoa pilaf with butternut squash, red and green peppers, onions, and seitan sausage. It turned out really well! I'd definitely make it again :)
I chopped up the onion and peppers, sprayed it with some olive oil spray, and sprinkled the thyme, rosemary, and savory on it. I decided to cook the asparagus separately with some olive oil and garlic. I roasted everything at 425 degrees for about 1/2 hr.
The quinoa and the veggies were done around the same time, so I just mixed them together. . . except for the asparagus because I decided I wanted to just eat that separately.
In the end, I decided to throw in two apple-sage seitan sausages for extra protein. And because they taste good :)
This makes four servings. Here's the nutritional information of just the quinoa dish (without asparagus, and before adding the sausage):
250 calories
3 g fat
50 g carbs (4g fiber)
7 g protein
Adding the asparagus & sausage, it becomes:
