In our house, weeknights are usually nights of simple meals. And my favorites are the ones that use only one pot and a few ingredients. That way I don't have to clean up too many things after dinner is done. This pork and butternut squash recipe is perfect because it can be made quickly and using only one pot. It is also delicious and nutritious. I hope you try it.
