Tomorrow is Halloween and I have to honestly say that I'm thankful that while I'm being so good on WW Lainie is too young to collect candy for trick-or-treating. I won't be faced with chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate.
I've decided that tonight I'm finally going to try the spaghetti squash recipe that I've been meaning to make. Robb isn't coming home until late so it's just me, Lainie Lou, and the squash. The recipe if you dare:
Spaghetti Squash and Mozzarella Cheese with Veggies
1 spaghetti squash, cooked and separated into strands (free)
1 lg. yellow onion, diced (free)
1 green bell pepper, chopped (free)
1 red bell pepper, chopped (free)
Pam- olive oil (free)
3-5 cloves garlic, minced (free)
1 tsp. basil (free)
1/2 tsp. oregano (free)
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper (optional) (free)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 C grated mozzarella cheese (6 pts)
1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese (12 pts)
Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix the cheese together, set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and add the onion, pepper and garlic. Sautee over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, basil, and crushed red pepper (if using). Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Mix squash well with the cooked vegetables and put half in the bottom of a large (13 x 9 inch) baking dish. Top with half the cheese mixture, followed by the other half of the squash mixture, then the rest of the cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Let cool 10-15 minutes before serving.
Total Points: 18 Servings: 6 Points per serving: 3
I think it's gonna be super yummy!! I'm seeing the mom and grandma tomorrow for lunch and then onto Tiff's house for some trick-or-treating! Lainie is gonna be a Hawkeye cheerleader. So adorable.
HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN, ALL, AND SEE YOU BACK HERE MONDAY MORNING!!!
