FOOODS!

I'm horrible at this blogging stuff, and it's been almost a whole year since I've posted anything!

Maybe I can use this to display the tasty foods we make. Cuz we make some.

I just sent Scout a recipe we made last night so I thought I could post it here to share. And maybe be more proficient about posting.

Here ya go:


It's an amended recipe i found online:

Feta Spaghetti Squash Deliciousness

Ingredients:
1 Spaghetti Squash
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Diced Onion
1 Clove Minced Garlic (or 1 tablespoon of the minced jarred stuff. That's what we used.)
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes OR 1 pack of sun-dried tomatoes (I used sun dried cuz Hann hates Fresh tomatoes. She likes the sun-drieds though)
3/4 c. crumbled Feta (I just used the whole little plastic tub i bought. Cheesier = better)
3 tablespoons sliced black olives (Mine don't like olives so i substituted a can of artichoke hearts, sliced)
2 tablespoons fresh basil

Preheat oven to 350.
Wash the outside of the squash, dry, and cut in half, longways (This part is a pain in the assssss.)
Once in half, use a spoon to scoop out the fleshy seed part (like you do with a pumpkin before you carve it).
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray, and put the squash, inside down, on the cookie sheet, and bake 45-60 minutes, until you can easily put a knife through the outside skin.

When it's done, remove from oven, and leave it sitting out to cool a bit so you can handle it.

While it's cooling, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onions and garlic until the onions start to turn translucent, about 7-10 minutes (I tend to be scared to burn stuff, so I have the temperature a little lower than "medium". that means it takes longer. I'm no pro).
Then stir in tomatoes, olives/artichokes, and cook until the mixture is heated through (temp - medium/low).
Once you can handle the squash, use a spoon to scrape out the insides, and add it to your pan with the other ingredients and mix through. Then add in the feta and Fresh Basil and serve warm.
