Day 306 and 307 Sketti Squash Success

I'm happy to say that I have found an addition to my favorite vegetables repertoire! Last night was the same sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, delicious but getting a little worn and I needed a little change up. Tonight, I decided to try spaghetti squash and I was pleasantly surprised by the vegetable it's self, not really impressed with my version of the recipe. The squash strings reminded me a little of grass noodles with their texture and chewiness. I didn't really know what to add and didn't want to use canned spaghetti sauce, so I went original. I added coconut milk for a little sweet, cayenne for a little spice, green olives for salt, and garlic just because I could. I was not thrilled with this combination, but I will continue to try other additions because the squash was quite nice. I saw a recipe earlier with Feta and black olives, which sounds good, but like I said, I'll keep looking. It would be nice to have seven favorite vegetables so that I have a week long menu of alternative to bread, cheese, and pasta.

Day 115 Two Frozen Thumbs Up

Today, I must comment on a perfectly acceptable frozen food item. Generally, I do not find frozen foods delicious or respectable and only eat them, when I have not been on the ball in regard to preparing lunch. Today, was one of those days and I found myself in the frozen food section of the supermarket, not at all excited about my prospects. Of all the boring, bland frozen options out there, I prefer Amy's brand, because they are one of the few vegetarian options and I believe one of the healthier choices. So, without fanfare or excitement of any kind, I chose the Amy's bean and cheese pizza bites. I was not expecting anything spectacular, but I have to say that they were not too bad! Anything with a bean/cheese combination is pretty good, I think, they were almost like tiny bean burritos, I did not get a pizza feel from them. So, yes I would buy them again, they have made the list of acceptable grocery items. I wonder how hard it would be to make my own pizza bites? It couldn't be that difficult, of course the trick would be to find the right kind of dough, maybe biscuit dough? Hmmm, maybe I'll try it sometime and share the results. I could make some really unique combinations, like feta and pineapple or something equally California kitchen-ish. We shall see what kind of magic, I can conjure in the kitchen.
