Roasted Spaghetti squash

I was doubting this recipe because it sounded funny. I gave it a try and it turned out so delicious. Even my 2 year old son loves it. I make it every time we get spaghetti squash.

What you'll need:

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 chicken breast ( or how ever many people you are serving)
  • 1 head of broccoli
  • garlic salt
    I do not take credit for the picture
  • onion powder
  • Parmesan cheese
  • any other veggie you want ( asparagus, carrots ect)
  • salt 
  • pepper
  • olive oil
What to do:
Set oven at 375 and place tin foil on cookie sheet. Cut the spaghetti squash in half. Cover the inside with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on cookie sheet inside down. Put some oil on the top of the squash. Put in oven cook for 10-15 min. 
Once time is up take out of oven and place broccoli and any other veggie on one side. Put onion powder, garlic salt, oil, s&p, and Parmesan cheese on top of veggies. Place chicken on the other side, put oil on top. I like to use the chicken seasoning on this or you could use the seasoning you use for the veggies. Cook till chicken is done. 
When done scoop out spaghetti squash and cut chicken up. Place in bowl with broccoli and mix up. I like to add more Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper.
This is so good and healthy I love it. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

DIY: Christmas wreath 2015

I know I have already done a Christmas wreath but I saw this and I had to make one of my own.
I love how this is a twist on the traditional ornament wreath.
There are no step by step pictures to this one. Its way easy so you can just add whatever you want and assemble it. I had to have a lot of patience with this one.

What you'll need:

  • branch wreath
  • ornaments
  • decor
  • letter
  • glue gun

What to do:
Place the letter on the wreath first and work your way around it. Add ornaments and branches if you like. The blue and green flowers I got from wal mart. I cut some of them up and added the ones that are sticking out. 
Not much to it huh.. it took me a while to assemble it and figure out what I liked.

Enjoy!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
