OK, So I took a little break from blogging.
First, I've been busy and blogging takes time.
And second, I don't really have a huge following and
I didn't really think anyone would miss me:)
Also - my friend Chantel made my lentil stew and
said it didn't turn out good. So then I got scared
and thought - what if other people are making
my stuff and it's awful too!?!?! Oh No!!!
But, then my loyal friend and faithful follower Renee
said she missed my blog. So, here I am.

So, I'm trying to eat a lot more vegetables.
And try some new ones.
Last year, I discovered avocados and they're my
favorite thing. I probably eat 3 a week.
A few weeks ago, I made my first spaghetti squash.
It's good. It's different. It's kinda fun.
This is my spaghetti squash.
I put it in the oven for an hour at 400.
You should take the sticker off first.
I think I forgot to do that :)
I turned it a few times while it was in there.
I let it cool just a bit. Then cut it in half.
It's got guts inside that look like a pumpkin.
You want to scoop all that out and throw it away.
This is the fun part.
Just lightly scrape the inside with a fork,
and these wonderful "spaghetti" like
strands start to appear.
I scraped down to the skin.
And got a ton of meat out of it.
This is from just the first half.
Then I added all of these things.
Salt, pepper, parsley, parmesan, and a little olive oil.
I gently tossed it together and put a little
more parmesan on top.
Russell became a hunter a few months ago
and killed his first deer.
He made these venison steaks tonight and
was so proud of them he wanted me to take a picture.
They do look good.
But I have trouble eating deer meat.

Here's how I made it:
Spaghetti Squash
1 medium spaghetti squash
1 tsp salt
pepper
1 tbsp parsley (I used dried)
olive oil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Heat your oven to 400. Pull your sticker off your squash :) Place your squash on a baking pan and roast for about an hour. Let it cool for a few minutes, then cut it in half. Scoop out all the seeds and stuff in the middle. Gently scrape the insides with a fork. Add salt, pepper and parsley. Drizzle on some olive oil. Add most of the the parmesan. Gently toss it all together. Sprinkle the rest of the parmesan on top.
