Excellent! I am just curious, did you cook the squash? Josh and I were discussing my diet which had me steaming my squash and we both thought I would have gotten more out of just eating it raw, but I followed my diet throughout.
You can do this Elizabeth and I will be watching!!!!

Thanks for checking in, I had them raw when packed but they got slightly steamed when I warmed up the chicken and the rice since they were in the same container. I am not crazy about raw squash so the 3 mins steaming was just perfect for me.
