I think there is not a dish more perfect than a simple dish of roasted red potatoes. To call it a recipe seems wrong but this is how I do it. I take red potatoes and cut them up. Place them in a baking dish. Season them generously with Pappy’s seasoning (or any seasoning blend you like). Douse with oil and toss them all together. Place in a 400 degree oven for 1 hour. Cheap and easy.
I have a small Starbucks problem but I want to be a little healthier and a little frugaler. So I decided to start making my own blended drinks. I love the Rocket/single serving blender
I put in crushed ice, coffee (that was cold & leftover in the frig), left over creamer, a shot of chocolate sauce and blended. Then I topped it with low fat chocolate whipped cream. Delish! A cheap and easy way to replace my Starbucks frap!
So we have given up wheat recently but at the same time we are not a family that can really live on salads (well, I could but NerdDad would starve to death;). So I am exploring some other options for delicious meals that will please and this dish was a huge hit!
Looks delish eh? I am having a hard time coming up with a name so please, give me your suggestions!!!
Ingredients:
1 Spaghetti Squash
1 package of Hillshire Farm Gourmet Creations Sausage in Beef and Bacon
1 package chopped frozen spinach: thawed and drained
1/2 stick of butter
2 heaping teaspoons of minced garlic
2 teaspoons sea salt +extra for squash
1 teaspoon pepper +extra for squash
1/2 teaspoon paprika +extra for squash
Sprinkling of queso fresco
Olive Oil or Veg Oil
Process:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Sprinkle the inside of the squash generously with sea salt, paprika, pepper and oil. Give it a rub to make sure the inside is all covered. Place cut side up on a cookie sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes until it is tender. When it is done just us a fork to pull the flesh from the skin and it will shred like spaghetti!
Take your Hillshire Farm Gourmet Creations Sausage and cut it in half length wise both ways to create 4 equal sticks. Do this to all 4 sausages and then dice. Melt a 1/2 stick of butter in a skillet. Once melted toss in your sausage, garlic and all your seasonings. Once the sausage browns up and you can smell the garlic just toss in your thawed and drained spinach and heat the spinach through. Then just toss it all with your spaghetti squash and serve!
Now this is strongly seasoned so you can back off the pepper and paprika but my kids all love it! This served my family of 6 (with kids 10-4) with no leftovers but no one was hungry either!
So what should I call it?

I love peanut butter cookies with chocolate in the middle. But that chocolate is pricey! So for years I have always bought Hershey Kisses on holiday clearance. No one can taste the price difference.
