Stuffed spaghetti squash lasagna

Warm and comforting dish coming atcha! If you haven’t roasted spaghetti squash before, you are gonna love this! Ok, so first, remove the stem of the squash then cut it in half lengthwise. Put it cut side down on a greased baking sheet/pan and roast for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F. After that you can flip it over and test it’s doneness. If the flesh pulls away from the edges in strands easily, then you are good to go. See the photo below as a point of reference (I flipped it to add marinara… Read more >

Breakfast lunch and dinner

I forgot about english muffins! Man, are they good! I started the day with an ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffin topped in miyoko’s vegan butter almost every day this week. For lunch I had a Fall themed salad made up of leftovers, with spinach, kale, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, and rosemary flavored nuts. These are so good! I had extras on the side of the salad. They are seasonal so if you see them on the shelf at TJs grab them before they run out. That happened to me last year…. Read more >

Seasonal breakfasts

We have been changing up the breakfast game more than usual lately because the kids are kinda getting sick of all the usual suspects.

Fiesta Harvest Salad

The name for this came to me because (a) it’s a party in your mouth, (b) it’s tex mex inspired and (c) it’s featuring the ingredient of the season – BUTTERNUT SQUASH! If you think pumpkin is the ingredient of the season, then that’s fine, too. You do you, boo. But I’m allll about the butternut. The dressing was a lime vinaigrette that I made up. Lime vinaigrette Ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp mayonnaise 2 green onions, chopped 1/8 tsp chili powder salt and… Read more >

Taste the Nation

One of the best things about getting Hulu this summer was that we were able to watch Padma’s show Taste the Nation. We are all big Top Chef fans – we let the kids watch the most recent All Stars season with us – so of COURSE we wanted to watch Padma explore various cultures via their food and learn about their history. Such a great show for adults and kids alike. I also think exposing them like this sparks the desire to try all the things they are seeing. Which is how we came… Read more >
