My Meatless Mondays - Spaghetti Pie


I had pulled out the Family Circle Annual Recipes for 2009.  I had gotten the book for $5 at a local store,  My thinking was that if I got three good recipes from the book, I have gotten my money's worth.  

 As I sat, listing the recipes, I wanted to make, I was pretty sure I would do well with the book.  Many recipes stopped me and as I looked more closely, I was happy to add them to the list.

 I saw a recipe for Spaghetti Pie.  I have made, over the years, a number of spaghetti pies and I thinkm, we loved every one of them.  This one was completely different from those so I had to give it a shot.

 Hubby and I made this together.  I enjoy cooking but sharing it with my best friend is loads of fun.  Hubby really enjoyed this.  I did not like the crumbs for a coating.  I do like crumbs mixed in with pasta though.

 Spaghetti Pie  (adapted from Family Circle)

    Hi, Chaya! I linked a soup this week. Easily meatless when made with vegetable broth, which is how we make it most often.

    I haven't had spaghetti pie in years. Have not had it with tortilla chips--sounds like a good base for the pie.

    Thank you for hosting!

    I'm a huge fan of cooking as well, and I think it's great that your husband helps you with that. Well, I can tell you that it was a challenge for me to find a girl on https://datinger.uk/reviews/flirt/ that would like to cook, but I still managed to find the perfect one there, and I'm planning to make her my wife one day.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
