Foodie at heart: Roasted Chipotle Butternut Squash, Black Beans, and Goat Cheese Tostadas

Since I am now a housewife I have found a lot of free time and I am enjoying it greatly. I have ALWAYS loved to cook and bake but eating healthier has been a goal of mine for some time. It's not only important to exercise but what we put into our bodies has an effect on us as well. Starting at the beginning of this year I discussed with my husband about the possibility of dedicating at least two meals a week to vegetarian meals and we would slowly increases it.  Even though we are still at the min of two meals a week there are weeks that we have eaten nothing but vegetarian meals and we can tell the difference.

Late a night I love to peruse pinterest and I have a dashboard that is dedicated to food :) I came across this recipe by Naturally Ella and I just KNEW  I had to make it.
