Spaghetti Squash "Pasta" is Awesome

Pasta is my comfort food.  As my sister Ellen can attest, we used to come home from middle school and fix ourselves a "snack" of spaghetti noodles with butter and Parmesan cheese (the powdered kind from the green can!).  It is cozy, comfy, comfort food, Midwest style!
In the last few years I've switched over to brown rice pasta, which is almost as delicious, and a bit healthier, than the classic durum wheat spaghetti.  But even brown rice pasta is a processed food, and contains less nutrition than eating whole brown rice.  So I try to limit my consumption, although we still need comfort food every now and then.
With this pasta history in mind, you will understand why I was suspicious when I heard about spaghetti squash "pasta."

Hello again!

If you've been following our blog, you've undoubtedly noticed that we've taken a bit of a break from blogging (a LONG break!).  Since Ellen's pain has been extremely debilitating these past few months, it's been hard to remain inspired to continue the upbeat tone of the blog.  But we've discussed it and we do want to continue with the project.  After all, we weren't looking for quick fixes (although deep down, maybe we hoped for one??).  It's still about healthy living and sustainable (which sometimes means slow) healing.
