Chicken Spaghetti

When I first saw this recipe, I didn't know exactly what to think.

I knew I was intrigued, but I'd never made anything like it, 

so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect taste wise.

I put off making it and sorta forgot about it for awhile.

But then I saw the recipe again on a different blog

and I knew right then and there that I had to try it!

Keep reading to see how it's made,

and to find out what I really thought after tasting.

Individual Turkey Sloppy Joe Portions

I've always loved Sloppy Joe's.

They're easy and tasty and remind me of being a kid.

But since I'm usually cooking for just myself,

I didn't make them too often.

Why?

Because I didn't want to eat them for so many meals in a row.

That is until I got smart!

One day I decided I would make a whole batch,

eat a helping and freeze the rest in individual servings.

GENIUS!!!

You could do this with any Sloppy Joe recipe,

but keep reading and see how I made mine!

Sunday Night Dinner: Take 21

It's been a few weeks since I posted a Sunday Night Dinner post, so I'm sorry! But - tonight's post is extra special because it's completely vegetarian and is still absolutely amazing and very filling!!!

I was going to roast a butternut squash, but I found a banana squash at the grocery store tonight and decided I wanted that instead! With the roasted squash, I had some roasted broccoli, sauteed garlic brussels sprouts and small salad with baby greens and bleu cheese tossed in a creamy balsamic dressing.

This meal was SO good and just thinking about it now makes me want to go eat some leftovers. Not only does it taste to good, it's all really simple to make as well.
