Confession #31- The PeaPod app has changed my life.

I have been a fan of grocery delivery services since I had my first child over five years ago.  But sometimes going online and assembling a grocery list in time for delivery is as difficult to fit in as going to the store.

Enter the app!  With literally a few clicks, my order is in and my delivery is scheduled.

What am I going to DO with all this free time?

That was a joke, obviously.

Anyway, this shrimp, kale, and butternut squash saute was inspired by this week’s delivery.  I actually ordered spaghetti squash, but received a butternut squash instead.

No biggie.  When life gives you butternut squash…

This is something I planned to try with sweet potatoes, but super happy to use a GREEN instead with this squash. Score!

I hope you love this easy shrimp saute dinner!
