Skinny Spaghetti

We all LOVE Spaghetti Squash!!!

Find this football size yellow squash in the produce section at your local grocery store.

To prepare 4 simple steps:
- slice it in half, length wise
- core the mess in the middle out
- bake it face down @400 for about 30 min.
- fork the strands out, they just fall out basically making lots of awesome spaghetti!!!!

The awesome sauce:  Cherry Tomato
- Saute 1/2 yellow onion and 3-4 minced garlic cloves in olive oil about 4-5 mins
- add a couple handfuls of sliced cherry tomatoes,
mushrooms, and basil (fresh is best) 2-3 mins
- Sprinkle in Nutritional Yeast (toward the end) to pack in 8g protein/serving, 4g fiber/serving, and loads of nutrients specifically B-complex vitamins



Nutritional Yeast has a nutty flavor:  great cheese substitute



my Sloppy Joe Recipe

I have random blog drafts that I never posted.  So here they come...starting with the sloppy joe combos...

Just made the most amazing combo!  Too easy and yummy not to share!
Any way we can make Kale taste good...come on with that!!

Kale is a SUPER FOOD because it is so

nutrient dense! 

*Kale has more iron per calorie than beef

*Kale has more calcium per calorie than milk

*Kale is rich in fiber & protein!

*Kale is loaded with beta carotene, vitamin K, C, & A (immune-boosters)

*Kale contains omege3 fatty acids

*Kale can be stored in the fridge up to 3 weeks!

Recipe:
Ground turkey roll (seasoned with montreal steak seasoning and garlic powder)
1/2 can organic tomato sauce
1/2 white onion chopped
2 whole carrots sliced
2 whole Kale leaves stemmed and chopped
1 cup wild and whole grain brown rice

-Brown the turkey first
-add chopped onion, carrots and sauce stir and heat for min or so
-add kale stir and heat till withered, won't take long
-add cooked rice
-stir and serve

serves 4-6!

 

 

Here is another dish I made with: ground turkey, tomato sauce and plain whole grain brown rice.  (You could sub brown rice with white Quinoa to make it gluten free!)  Added chopped carrots, yellow onion, green bell pepper.  Seasoned while cooking with:  garlic, oregano, and basil. 

 

So easy to play with and make a fast meal.  Freeze the left overs as individual frozen meals!
