Spaghetti Squash

This was my lunch meal today;

Spaghetti Squash, Roasted Tomatoes, Italian Sausage and Parmesean Cheese.

I microwave my spaghetti squash, cut in half, cut sides down, for 10 min. This picture is 1/2 of a 3 lb squash. I tossed the squash with 1/2 of the tomatoes I roasted on Sunday, OMG, they were awesome.....sweet and flavorful. I added 3 oz cooked italian sausage and 2 tbl. parmesean cheese. I'll use the othe 1/2 of the roasted tomatoes on Thursday.

Early this morning before 9:15 yoga I made a big batch of veg soup.... orrechietti (pasta) with tomatoes, butternut squash and celery leaves, oh yea, and bacon....and I couldn't resist the big huge bundles of basil at the farmers market on Sunday, so I made pesto, 2 kinds, regular basil/pine nut, and Fawn Friday's cilantro/pitachio pesto, to which I added a jalapeno pepper.

I've been eating alot of nuts lately, and not weighing or measuring them first....that has to change...that's going to change.....calories in nuts adds up fast. Also the dried fruit thing...lots of condensed sugar...that's going to change. I went to bed last night a little hungry, I want to get my weight back down by a pound or so, and I'm just eating too much high calorie foods (nuts!)

I love cooking, I love food, I love my life.
