Butternut Coconut Curry

Another weekend! Another chance to relax! Also...another chance to get prepped for the busy week ahead!

I decided to make a healthy dish that I could freeze now and eat later during the hectic week when I am feeling lazy overwhelmed with life :)

I was inspired by these recipes:

 Tofu and Butternut Squash Curry, Kitchen Daily

Squash and Coconut Curry, BBC Good Food

The final ingredient list:

-butternut squash
-tofu
-green pepper
-green onions
-medium curry powder
-light coconut milk

v

 And SHA-BAM!!!

I hope my roommates won't be surprised when I burst through the front door at the end of the day screaming "Coconut butternut curry!!!! Yesssssss!"  But...I think they're pretty used to that behavior by now :)
Happy living,
