Lot’s of hype on spaghetti squash – but how in the world do you make it? It’s actually very very easy!
What you need:
1 spaghetti squash
Casserole dish (microwavable)
Knife
Water
What to do:
Cut lengthwise the spaghetti squash in half
Clean out seeds – don’t mess with sides just scrape the seeds from the middle
Place halves face down in the casserole dish
Fill with water about .5 to 1 inch so that the face of squash is covered
Microwave for 12 minutes – rotate dish half way through if your microwave doesn’t spin
Now when it’s done it will be VERY hot.
Let it cool and remove from dish and flip the squash face up on a plate. Using a fork, pull the inside of squash to the center and it will come off in little spaghetti strings!
Move these to your bowl and top with whatever you want!
Suggested toppings:
Spaghetti squash and your favorite protein
Garlic & butter

This past Sunday, my husband and I were home and wanted make something fun for dinner! I found this recipe HERE. It was relatively easy and I’m glad I got to use my ravioli maker kitchen aid attachment we got at the wedding! But you can definitely make this without a ravioli maker – just roll out the dough and make the raviolis buy hand!
This is a very hands-on recipe and was fun to see what goes into making ravioli. The recipe is kid friendly and a great way to teach them at a young age about what to put in your body and how to make it!

I love love love kale chips and the biggest bonus is that kale has tons of health benefits!
Here’s a step by step process for how I make kale chips.
It is really important to get the kale as dry as possible so it crisps up when you bake it.
Don’t go crazy with the extra virgin oil olive – it spreads out as you toss it.
You’ll be able to feel that the kale is crispy, like a thin chip.
Hope you guys like this recipe – it is a staple in my house!
