Guilt Free “Pasta”

September 28, 2018

Is there such a thing as guilt-free pasta? Yes, and no. Enter Spaghetti Squash. I know you all probably heard about spaghetti squash and how people substitute this vegetable for pasta. Sounds crazy right? At first, I was very skeptical, but I always like to try something at least once. I’ll be the first to say the first time I made spaghetti squash it was a watery mess, and only left me hungry and wanting to eat real pasta! I didn’t let that stop me, and did some more troubleshooting until I figured out the perfect recipe.

The Ultimate Lasagna

It’s time for Sunday dinner, and today I made one of my favorite dinner dishes which is Lasagna!

Aside from macaroni and cheese, this is my all time favorite pasta dish. My mom would also cook lasagna for my family on Sundays. I remember she would allow me to assist her in the kitchen. As her little helper, I would place the layers of mozzarella cheese on as she layered the sauce, and for a job well done I got to eat the remaining cheese:) Part of this “adulting” thing is creating my own versions of Sunday Dinners. Since I do not yet have a family of my own, I am fortunate enough to have incredible friends who are now family here in Harlem. So when I told my friends I wanted to host Sunday dinner at my place, everyone responded with what time is dinner and what can I bring. I wanted to challenge myself, and enhance the lasagna dish that I am used to eating. I still love my momma’s lasagna, but I wanted to see what else can be done to enhance her recipe.

5ish Ingredient Chicken

I LOVE cooking but hate spending hours upon hours in the kitchen. Whenever I am able to make quick meals that have loads of flavor, and minimal dishes I get too excited! This recipe uses ingredients that are simple to find if you don’t already own them. Since I am such a lover of 1 pan dishes my Pinterest board usually has a few of these 1 pan dishes that gives me inspiration to the meals I create.
