Recipe #1

Don't mind my granny apron... I'm hard at work!

I've officially tried my first healthy dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs!! Sorta.. I substituted the noodles with spaghetti squash. To cook the squash I just cut it in half, threw on some seasonings and olive oil, and popped it in the oven until I could stick a fork through it (about an hour). While that was cooking I made turkey, quinoa, and black bean meatballs. All really healthy things! Click for meatballs.. I did slightly modify it adding the turkey burger. Then I threw those in the oven for about 30-40 minutes. I never actually time the things I cook, or measure anything for that matter, so just keep an eye on everything to make sure it doesn't burn. :) When the "spaghetti" and meatballs were finished cooking I took a spoon and scraped out the insides of the squash, put it in a bowl, covered with meatballs and fresh parm, and it was delicious!! Didn't have time to do a red sauce, but maybe next time? Caitlyn and Emma approved and said it was REALLY good! That'll be something we can all eat... when (if) we are picked for the program. We should know by tomorrow!
