I got two cute little size of
homegrown organic butternut squash and spaghetti squash from my hubby’s former
teacher another day, and they were beautiful!
I was too excited about them so I
cut the spaghetti squash up and cooked it right away in the microwave for 10
minutes and removed the strands out like spaghetti which it looked gorgeous. But I still had no idea what to do with
it. So, I saved it for later when my
head is clear enough to think about it.
Today I woke up with an idea of making
this dish using spaghetti squash as a base for my mini frittata cups. That’s absolutely sound so healthy and delish. As you already know (right?), squash is low
in carbs and calories yet plentiful with vitamin C, B6, and manganese, and a
fair source of potassium that we need for our bodies. If those facts don’t make it a miracle food, I
don’t know what will. I also added low-sodium
turkey bacon, some cooked spinach and red bell pepper just to make it more
colorful. Well, I love color in my
dishes, if you ever noticed. They are countless
of benefits of why you should eat a plateful of color every day. Fruit and vegetable every day in every meal can
help you stay healthy and beautiful, especially for those who are trying to
control their waistline. And I want to
be healthy and beautiful, you know?
What you need:
4 large eggs
1 cup spaghetti squash cooked
1 cup baby spinach cooked (quick stir fry)
