I have also noticed that this has been an unusual down week for me. Off week from indoor volleyball and no sand yet. I am not accustomed to having so many free nights!! It is a good thing because I have tons of errands and silly things to get done!!
I decided to ride my bike inside to switch up my activities for the week. Plus, it gave me a chance to catch up on Cougar Town. Normally, I drink wine while I watch, but I am so behind!! I figured that biking is better for me anyway. I biked for an hour with lots of furry help!!
After our walk, I tried out a new recipe. Well, new to me anyway. I modified this recipe from Skinny Taste.
Spaghetti Squash Italian Bake
Spaghetti Squash:
Poke holes in spaghetti squash (3 lbs) and cook in the microwave for 10-12 minutes. Turn it over once during the cooking process or one side will start to overcook.
Filling:
3 Trader Joes Spicy Italian Chicken Sausage Links
1 medium onion-finely chopped
1 red bell pepper-finely chopped
1 can of diced italian tomatoes
Italian seasoning
Garlic
Additional Ingredients:
Grated Parmesan
Shredded Mozzarella-fat free
Steps:
Saute the chicken sausage, onion and peppers until the onions are translucent and the peppers are thoroughly cooked. Add in diced tomatoes, italian seasonings and garlic and let simmer for a few minutes.
Scoop out the seeds from the spaghetti squash and dispose of them. Then scoop out the squash strings. I put mine in the bottom of a casserole dish. (If you want a fancier serving, you could put them back in the spaghetti squash shell.)
Top with a light dusting of grated parmesan cheese.
Evenly spread the sausage mixture on next and top with 1 cup of mozzarella.
Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted (5-10 minutes).
Enjoy!
How is your week going?
Do you enjoy down weeks or get bored? If every week was like this one, I would go crazy. I love getting out and playing sports and spending time with friends!!
