Eating healthy is so hard! We have been trying to
incorporate healthier foods into our daily life more often, but I find that it
can be more difficult if I don’t plan well. With a 6 month old, it can be difficult to spend lots of time
in the kitchen preparing meals that take lots of time. So, I have been looking
for ways to make healthier foods ahead of time and/or meals that don’t take too
much time to make. For example, when I make spaghetti sauce I make twice as
much as I need and freeze it – so that when we are short on time or have a
rough day I can just boil some pasta and we have a meal. However, pasta isn’t
all that great for you and I try to find alternative to it. I’ve been hearing a lot about spaghetti
squash lately on pintrest and then from my family especially during the fall so
I thought we would give it a try. I roasted/steamed the spaghetti squash and
then topped it with premade meat sauce and it was pretty good. Aside from the
fact that I need to cook it longer because it was crunchier than I expected, it
was pretty good. It would not replace spaghetti on a regular basis – But as a
healthy alternative it was pretty good! Even Josh said it was pretty good – so I take that as a
successful meal!!

| Ready to roast - I added a little water to the bottom of the pan, covered it in foil and bake for about 50 min - next time I will bake it for at least an hour! |
 |
| After I scooped it out, I added some butter and salt to taste. |
 |
| Final product, with a little parmesan cheese on top. |
