Why am I so confident? Steve made dinner! We were going to have roasted chicken and jicama fries (a new favorite we found when we did Whole 30), but I wanted to run on the treadmill (5 miles...I really wanted to watch Doctor Who on my tablet with Amazon Prime!). So Steve changed the menu, and pretty much made everything himself.
Spaghetti squash with ground turkey and diced tomatoes, and spaghetti sauce left over from the other day.
Carrots steamed on the stove.
Broccoli steamed in the microwave.
I helped a little, but Steve made dinner. And he usually warms up the leftovers, so he'll "make" dinner again tomorrow!
This is a guy who, when we were dating, had to ask me if the water had to be boiling first to make spaghetti. I have to say he's always been willing to help out and learn, but although he may be the Grill Master, he is not a chef.
So if he can learn to cook, anyone can! (And it was good. Here's a picture of Chico begging for some--well, it's more of a hypnotic stare.)
We usually cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave, but these were huge! (Don't they kind of look like minions???) So we split them in half and cooked them at 375 for 45 minutes, with some water in the bottom of the pan. You can add chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, ground pork...you get the idea. We've also added spinach in the past, but we're saving the rest of the bag for omelettes. You can also add cheese (mozarella!) if you're into that. :) Anything you would do with pasta, basically. It's still squash, but when it's warm and gooey and covered in sauce, you won't mind! Trust me!
