Curried Millet with Butternut Squash

Hello Friends!  I’m excited to be team up with a few other Boston foodies (Simply Gourmet in Southie, Eat Live Blog, Champagne Thursday, and La Vie Jaime) to bring you #BostonPotluck.  We’re each sharing recipes for healthy holiday meals during the month of December and we’re giving away some excellent cookbooks.  Get ready for good food all around!

My healthy holiday recipe is one of my absolute favorites: Curried Millet with Butternut Squash.  It’s filled with flavor, super simple to prepare, and makes delicious leftovers.  Perfection!

I often find that people are unfamiliar with millet, which is a bummer because it is so good!  Hopefully if you’ve been reading One Beet for a while you’re tried millet before (maybe in my Curried Millet Cakes or Healing Miso Soup).  Millet is an excellent whole grain that originates from Africa and is packed with B vitamins, which help the body handle stress (not that there is ever any stress around the holidays!).  Like all whole grains, variety is key.  You get different nutrients from different grains and it’s best to mix and match them in your diet.  Definitely give this recipe a try and see what you think of adding millet to your diet!

    Zoe is a blast to work with in the “kitchen” here at HubSpot. She is always bringing a positive energy to the cooking process and helps dum dums like me look like french chefs.
