Sketti

Such a random memory to hang on to...I can still remember the first time I tried spaghetti squash! It was at Girl Scouts and our leader served it with butter, salt, and parmesan cheese. It was so tasty, and so different from anything I had ever had before. I'll admit, the texture can be a little...slimy? That's probably why we never ate it at home.

Tonight I baked a spaghetti squash and used it in the place of noodles. Gluten free pasta is ok...just ok. This is a good substitute, and also more nutritious.

I just cut the squash in half, removed the seeds, sprayed the inside with a little olive oil, and baked at 425* for 45 minutes.

After it was done cooking, I scraped out the squash and put it aside. For some reason, this one didn't turn out as "noodle-y" as it usually does.

For the sauce, I just used jarred sauce and loaded it up with vegetables, including onions and garlic. I don't really have a particular brand of sauce I always buy...I just look for one that's on sale and doesn't have soybean oil or HFCS. 

I asked Isaac if he'd like me to boil some macaroni for him, instead of the spaghetti squash, and he said don't bother...I won't eat it anyway. Haha!! He didn't say it in a disrespectful or rude way at all...he honestly wanted to save me the trouble! He said he didn't need dinner, but I did give them some fruit.

They both ended up eating a few plates like this. It was fine with me because, guess what...we are eating this again tomorrow! Muwahahahaha!!!
