By using spaghetti squash instead of noodles, you will be serving your family a healthy dose of vitamins, nutrients and fiber. Simply steam the squash and serve the spaghetti squash {noodles} with the pasta sauce of your choice.
Enjoy this decadent side dish of Brussels sprouts warm (mixed with blue cheese, walnut and dried cranberries), or chop up the leftovers and serve them over greens for a cold {sweet & savory} salad. And yes, Brussels sprouts can be decadent.
My family loves to go crabbing on the Oregon coast and I envision doing even more of it as our boys get older. Once we’re done at the beach we have roughly a ninety minute-drive home to decide what to make with the spoils of our trip. I could eat Dungeness crab plain all day long…

Inspired by one of my family’s favorite appetizers {Stuffed Jalapenos}, a recipe which I will share with you soon, I decided to stuff some mini sweet peppers that were leftover from a Cinco de Mayo fiesta at my son’s preschool. A variation of my quinoa “taco” salad {without chicken} was a healthy stuffing that was easy to mound inside the small peppers.
This could also be called the cleaning-out-the-fridge salad because that’s literally what I was doing the first time I made it. However, we knew it was a keeper when we went to the store the next day to buy the same ingredients for another batch.
