    Thursday 01/12/2012

    Trying to prep dinner ahead - Im stuck at home for five days on sick leave and I dont want to have to cook much, just need to get my rest up again..

    Making a homemade bolognese, fresh lemon-basil linguine (yes, I made this from scratch) and garlic bread for my husband.


    For me, I am going to take some of that bolognese and sauce up some roasted spaghetti squash for me, sans any bread...

    One of my Janet & Greta favourites (I will cook my way through all of their cookbooks eventually) - Rome on the Range soup! It's roasted tomato and red bell pepper soup with meatballs. The recipe is in the thread below but I highly suggest any of their cookbooks, I've never once been disappointed with one of their recipes.

    How do you make the spaghetti squash? I have wanted to try it but don't know how.
    i just cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. put it (cut side down) in a 9x19 pan..add some water, cover with foil and bake at 375 for about 30 minutes - depending on how big it is.

    Super easy, and its something you can get in the oven while you take care of other things!

    Wash the squash first!!!! (You never know who has handled this before you!)

    Cut in half lengthwise

    Scoop out the seeds and the wet-flesh the seeds are found in.

    massage some olive oil - not alot though!!!

    Sprinkle any spice variety you want... or keep it simple: kosher salt, black pepper, granulated garlic... you dont need alot as this is going to bake right into the flesh!

    Bake in the oven on 375F for about 30-45 minutes or until fork-tender.

    Allow to cool.

    Take a fork and start stripping away the fiberous strands.... and VOILA! C'est tout fine!

    See, I dont even use water... this comes up so moist for me without a hitch!

    I'm using a cooking light recipe for Thai Chicken Saute....I don't like onions, so I sub red bell peppers instead. The recipe is here:

    <http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/thai-chicken-saut-10000001591044/&gt;

    I can do healthy - but it must have lots of flavor. This fits the bill!

    Last night was Spaghetti squash topped with marinara sauce. Plus a huge spinach salad with chicken breast for protein. The meal was yummy and fabulously healthy. I was actually frustrated at how low cal it was. I was below my target for the day. See my food diary for details.

    Tonight is left over baked salmon, green beans, and brown rice.
