My best friend (and super awesome coaching partner), April and I were coaching our box's morning classes yesterday when I decided it was time for my morning coffee. Our box is right next door to a 7Eleven, so it's super convenient....and they have a pumpkin spice brew, that is PHENOMENAL! Anyways, I walked over there and one of the clerks asked if I "do that Crossfit thing" next door. (Keep in mind that I had chalk all over me, was in shorts, and a tank top that said Crossfit.... silly people) So of course, I told him that I do, and told him he should come over and try it out sometime.
His response: "Hmmm.... nah, I thought about it, but you guys don't do any weights over there... I need weights, so that's why I haven't come in yet." WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!
Do you see weights anywhere? Yeah, me neither....
He started to laugh at my shocked expression when his other co-worker chimed in and told me that's she's tried to tell him otherwise but he just won't listen... People are funny!
Good ole' Spaghetti
What You'll Need:
1 Large Spaghetti Squash
Butter (I use Grass-Fed)
Italian Seasonings
Italian Sausage of your Choice (that's what she said jokes are coming my why, aren't they?)
Spinach Leaves
Marinara Sauce
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Cut Spaghetti Squash in half and remove all seeds. Once seeds are removed, brush the meat (inside halves) of the squash with butter, then season it with your Italian spices
- Place squash-halves meat side up on lined pan and bake in oven for 30-35 minutes.
- Once the squash is done, let it cool before you "fork" out the spaghetti. Those suckers are hot!
- While cooling, cut your sausage in slices and sautee for a few minutes. April will sometimes sautee hers in white wine- yummy!
- Fork out your squash.... there are plenty of youtube videos out there if you don't know what I'm talking about
- Add squash and sausage to a bowl. Add in your marinara (please choose as clean as possible-meaning no added sugars or make your own!) and top with chopped spinach. Voila!
Hi Olivia, been doing Paleo for almost 2 months (LOVE IT) last time i tried cooking pesto spaghetti squash it was a disaster the texture was unbearable for me and my 5 year old. Any suggestions for newbie as far as cooking the spaghetti squash?Should I leave it longer/ Add more oil or butter? I want to make this for dinner it looks delish!
