Over the New Year holiday weekend, I had four days off. I wish I could have enjoyed it more, but I was still dealing with the nagging cold. The positive side of that was that I got lots of rest and relaxation to start the New Year off right!

Breakfast
Acorn Squash
Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Veggies
First, I roasted the squash….
Then, I cooled it a bit and carved out the spaghetti-like strands with a fork….
I am the most culinarily-challenged person in the world. If I can do it, you can too.
Then, I roasted the veggies.
Mixed the squash and veggies together, topped with parm & mozz cheeses and a couple splashes of balsamic vinegar. Here is the final product. It doesn’t look to appetizing, but it was amazing and I think I’m going to make it again tonight. I call it, the Spaghetti Squash & Roasted Veg Hodgepodge”…..
