My husband accuses me of cooking too much pasta…really, is there such a thing. So, instead of pasta, I cooked up some spaghetti squash. We felt like we were eating pasta. Hubby was happy dinner wasn’t a carb, and the kids gobbled the squash up. Everyone was happy. Tomato, Basil, & Garlic over Spaghetti Squash […]

I’ve mentioned before that my family loves the fall. But there is one more reason why I love fall–no heating or cooling bills. After a HOT and steamy summer where the air conditioner ran all day, our windows are finally open and fresh air is blowing inside. This past week, the daytime was sunny and […]

How to Cook Spaghetti Squash

It’s uncanny how much cooked spaghetti squash looks like pasta. What’s even more uncanny is that my kids didn’t question that it wasn’t pasta. When they asked, “what’s for dinner”, I honestly said, “spaghetti squash.” They didn’t even flinch; they just gobbled it up like they do when they eat pasta. Cooking the squash takes about […]

My family had an busy summer filled with the beach, the zoo, the pool, and a flurry of other activities. But like all good things, summer 2012 has come to an end and luckily, my kids were excited to see it go. My oldest entered 1st grade last week at a new school and she was very […]
