Life Lately

Oh Monday, you come again far too soon. I worked all weekend on getting some more items ready for my Etsy shop. Well, not ALL weekend. There was a little bit of drinking in the neighbor’s backyard….but just a little:) I got a LOT done today and will be putting new items up in the shop all week long, so be sure to check it out! Since I worked on shop things all weekend long, I didn’t have much chance to edit outfit photos and such, so you’re getting an Instagram update! If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you’ll be sad to know that you just missed a $500 Shopbop gift card giveaway, so be sure to follow along so that you don’t miss the next one!

Spaghetti Squash Bowls With Meat Sauce

Look at me being all healthy today! You guys should be SO proud! I’m proud too, because my husband ACTUALLY ate this and he ENJOYED it! Points for everyone! But in all seriousness, this is a GREAT recipe! I had been wanting to make spaghetti squash for a very long time, but I was always hesitant because I didn’t know if I would actually like it. Well, when my cousin brought one over to cook last summer, it was the perfect chance to try it. Well, try it I did and I LOVED it. No, it’s NOT pasta and you are kidding yourself if you think it will be the same, but it is still REALLY good..and I LOVE my pasta.

My cousin made us spaghetti squash marinara, and it was good, but I knew that if I REALLY wanted to love it (and wanted my husband to love it) I was going to have to add a little bit more to it. Enter, the meat. My husband thinks that meat sauce makes EVERYTHING better and in this case I have to say I agree. Add some meat and a few extra veggies into your sauce and you have a full fledged feast on your hands:) Spaghetti Squash with meat sauce and peppers- such a great substitute for those who want to eat healthy and love pasta

Ingredients:

1 large spaghetti squash
1 jar pasta sauce- I used Classico Tomato Basil
1 bell pepper- I used half a red and half a yellow
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Suggestion: Add more veggies! Throw in a few mushrooms, a little onion, and maybe a little bit of spinach!

Directions:

Squash:

Start by heating your oven to 400 degrees.
Cut your spaghetti squash in half. Y’all, this was hard. I used 3 different knives before I almost gave up. Thankfully we had a pumpkin carving knife sitting in our drawer from Halloween. Worked like a charm- highly recommend! Lol!
Scrape out the seeds on the inside of your squash, just like you would a Halloween pumpkin.
Spread a little olive oil around on the insides of the squash and sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
Lay face down on a cookie sheet covered in tinfoil. I also like to put a little olive oil on my tinfoil to prevent sticking!
Once your oven reaches 400 degrees, put your squash in the oven.
Cook the squash about 30-45 minutes, depending on your oven, or until soft.
Once your squash is soft, remove from the heat and using a oven mit to hold it still, scrape out your spaghetti squash with a fork. It should be stringy like (duh) spaghetti! You don’t have to scrape the entire squash out, but at least do the top.

Sauce:

Cook your ground meet in a frying pan until half cooked.
Add your chopped peppers (and other veggies) to the pan and cook until meat is browned.
Add your sauce and simmer on medium-low until squash is fully cooked.
I like to add a little spice to mine with some basil, oregano, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper.

Spaghetti Squash Bowls:

Once the squash and sauce are done, scoop your sauce out into your squash bowl.
Cover with mozzarella cheese.
Place back in to oven for 5-10 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Serve! This is the fun part! Wes and I enjoyed eating out of the squash bowls, it was fun. You have to scrape along the bottom to get more squash, it was an experience. If you, however, don’t get pleasure out of being a child playing with your food, or you are trying to in fact feed a child, you can scoop it all out in to a regular bowl.

I’m so serious about this one you guys! I was full, my husband was full. We actually had so much food left over that I will be having it for lunch twice this week! Not only was there a lot, but it tastes so good too. Highly recommend this one, especially if you are trying to be healthy and are a pasta lover like me!

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you know of a. a better way to cut a squash than with a pumpkin carver or b. any other great spaghetti squash recipes, let me know in the comments below!

For The Love Of Monograms

Gold Glitter Tumbler // Gold Monogram Necklace // Pink & Gold Monogram Bracelet // Tote Bag // Pink Monogram Keychain // Mason Jar Necklaces // iPhone Case

I have been ALL about the monograms lately. I bought a necklace just like the one above, I got some cute monogram bracelets (here and here), a monogram notebook, and I just recently bought a bag I haven’t received yet that will have my monogram on it as well! I don’t know what it is about having those 3 little letters on everything, but it just makes me smile:) I think my next monogrammed purchase may have to be that gold glitter tumbler or the pink and gold bracelet, they are just TOO cute!

Anyone else with a monogram obsession out there? Have you bought anything with your monogram lately?
