Bridget picked out this recipe for spaghetti squash that I made for dinner a couple nights ago. I have to say that I was a bit nervous about eating a squash for dinner at first! But it turned out to be something we all really enjoyed a lot (so much so we are having the other half again this week!), and was very filling!

SPAGHETTI SQUASH

• 1 spaghetti squash
• 1 c. grated cheddar cheese
• 1 c. grated zucchini
• 1 c. tomato sauce
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/8 tsp. basil, crushed
• Dash of garlic powder
• 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated

Cut squash in half, clean out seeds. Place cut side up in microwave safe dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover with clear wrap and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Run fork over inside of cooked squash to get spaghetti-like strands. Scoop out spaghetti from 1/2 squash. Add cheese, zucchini, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, basil and garlic powder. Mix well and spoon back into empty squash. Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Bridget and I decided to take Siobhan to the Please Touch Museum for Valentine’s day, along with our moms. Even though she was young for some of the activities, overall she really enjoyed it! Here are some pictures:
