This year I planted a vegetable garden for the first time. I bought a simple, self-watering garden box from Costco and then loaded up on seeds and soil. I even bought plant food just in case I needed it! Everything was chugging along fine for a few weeks. My seeds slowly grew into sprouts (what… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Casserole

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad
I'm loving all of the fall and winter vegetables. The grocery store had a huge array of different gourds yesterday. They also had plenty of turnips, parsnips and rutabagas, to boot. I love a good roasted vegetable dish, so I'm all in when it comes to winter veg. One thing I love to eat this… Continue reading Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad
Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
I like to try different sauces. I guess you could call me a sauce queen. I have dozens of different sauces stashed in my pantry, fridge, and secondary cabinet. I'm a big fan of sauce that Trader Joe's offers. I'll try anything at least once. So when I saw a jar of Cajun Alfredo the… Continue reading Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
Classic Squash Casserole
Summer produce is at its peak right now. Mid-August is the best time to buy tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, peaches and squash. The farmer's market was packed full of produce when we went this weekend. I love perusing the booths for the best of summer's harvest. Soon, the booths will close up shop and the produce… Continue reading Classic Squash Casserole
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I discovered the strangest thing in my spaghetti squash this weekend. The seeds had sprouted inside of the squash! I had never seen anything like that. How could they sprout with any sunlight? They were locked in tight inside that spaghetti squash flesh! I planted a few outside my laundry room door to see if… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Summer seems like it started in March this year because of the pandemic. Not only that, but you can rule out any large… Continue reading Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Since I work in TV news, I'm constantly busy. I barely have time to take a dinner break at nights. Most nights I have to force myself away from my computer. I'm constantly afraid someone is going to need me or major breaking news will happen in the 3 minutes it takes to walk to… Continue reading Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
That's a lot of alliteration right there in the title. Shrimp. Scampi. Spaghetti. Squash. I swear it was unintentional. It just happened. I just had a spaghetti squash ready to go the other day and shrimp scampi sounded like the perfect meal to make with it. I love that buttery, garlicky dish. It's so rich… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I thought I was done experimenting with spaghetti squash. I thought I had done all that I could with that gourd. I've made spaghetti (obviously), chicken parm, alfredo, lo mein, primavera, BBQ chicken, cajun chicken, chicken piccata, chicken marsala...all with that bright yellow squash. What's left to do?! Well, make it Caprese-style, that's what's left.… Continue reading Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Fall Harvest Bowls
There's a lot of foods out there that have fallen out of favor with this generation. It's not just a millennial problem, either. Gen Xers just don't cook like boomers did. If people are actually getting into the kitchen, they're meal prepping the same Pinterest meals over and over again. Not only have certain meals… Continue reading Fall Harvest Bowls
