Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti

I love when L wants spaghetti because she can never remember how to say it so she says, "Mommy, I want the noodles like Katy makes but long."  So cute.

We are pretty much down with the quinoa and mixed potato noodles but I really didn't care for the rice noodles.  I think because I keep over cooking them.

This week in our CSA, besides some lovely flowers, was a spaghetti squash.  I keep meaning to try this out so I finally did!

It was really yummy. 

It kinda tastes like noodles but a little crunchy, not crunchy like noodles that aren't cooked, but crunchy like a pretzel...sorta.  I will definitely make this again.  L like it but H wasn't in the mood.  Steve was at work so he hasn't tried it yet.

• I cut the squash in half length wise, drizzled with a little oil and black pepper
• Put it on a baking sheet and into the over for about 2 hours on 350
• Pulled it out and with a fork just scraped it out and poured sauce on top

That easy!  Here are a few pictures. 

It's Expensive Getting Healthy

We live on the Eastern Shore in world a little behind the rest of the world.  We have one health food store locally and it's expensive!  But what are you supposed to do when you need certain products like chia seeds and hemp seeds.
Until we really figure out what we like and will continue to use I don't want to make any big purchases on-line.
On the flip side, we have so many wonderful farms in every direction you look.  And that is well worth living here.
Our CSA crop is a wonderful addition to our diet.  We just picked up this weeks crop and have spaghetti squash on the mind.
Tomorrow is a beach day but then some serious experimenting is going to happen.  And when I say experimenting I mean it.  I am NOT a cook.  I don't like to cook so this is a double challenge.
Stay tuned!
