Low-Fat Butternut Squash Casserole

October 13th 013

Stonyfield recently asked their Clean Plate Club members to help them with their latest challenge to squash pesticides out of diets with healthy squash recipes. All of Stonyfield’s yogurts are organic with no GMO or pesticides in the ingredients

Truthfully I don’t buy organic as much as I should, especially organic fruits or vegetables whose skin I usually eat. Living near an organic-only grocery store has gotten me into the habit of buying more organic. Maybe going all organic all the time can be unreasonable in today’s lifestyle, but focusing on making small changes every time you go to the grocery store makes it easy.

Using greek yogurt in this casserole makes the dish a little lighter but just as creamy and adds a slight tang to the flavor. Use whatever your favorite herbs are whether that’s basil, rosemary, dill or a mix.
