Allow me to rave about spaghetti squash here for a bit. It’s not a noodle, it’s a vegetable! That’s like a noodle! And recently I have discovered that microwaving (no, I don’t believe it harms food overmuch) the squash for about 10-12 minutes, with three stops to turn it around, after pricking it a few times with a knife (v. v. important) is so simple! And it results in quickly made “noodles” for everything else! Rather than all this -roasting- that used to have to go on!
So tonight I made a crazy “what’s in the fridge” casserole – one spaghetti squash minus a few bites for Noah to try as finger food (he hated the texture), a cup and a half of salsa, two onions sauteed, two tofu “sausages” (I was trying them out, they’re the Yves brand for you Canadians – they are pretty much just thicker spicy tofu dogs as far as I can tell), mixed up, smothered in cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs, and baked.
It was very yummy, although the sausages are not really that thrilling. Roast potatoes rounded out the meal.
We are in the process of cleaning up our eating habits here, so that we are all on the straight and narrow by the time Noah’s really noticing. Plus he’s eating a lot of stuff with us although not wheat, dairy, soy, etc. So expect more food posts. :)
we do expect more food posts.

yay!
