OMG this is AMAZING!



Ingredients:
1 Large (or two small) Spaghetti Squash  (roasted; shredded)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup chopped carrots
2-3 eggs

Sauce:
3 tbsp coconut aminos
3 tbsp coconut aminos garlic sauce
3 tbsp rice vinigar
1 tsp red pepper flakes



1)  In large pan, heat EVOO.   Add minced garlic, mushrooms, sprouts and carrots.  (Onions and scallions optional! I skip these!)  Stir fry them for about 3 minutes.    Add in 2 chicken breasts!  Cook chicken and veggies until chicken is cooked through.  (Could pre-cook chicken).

2)  Add about 3 cups of spaghetti squash and sauce.  Mix well.

3)  Make space in center of mixture.  Cook eggs in center and then scramble them and stir them into the mixture!    Serve!


*next time I may add some snap peas for fun too!

4Stars!  Kids ate it but they think squash is poison.  They actually thought it was noodles and were fine, once they realized it was squash they took their time eating.

MN Wild Rice Burgers

After a recent trip to Duluth, where I had the BEST wild rice burger at Fitgers Brewhouse, I came home and decided to try my hand at it.    I googled and found this recipe that even MENTIONED Fitgers version, so I knew I had to start there!   I started off by cooking up a batch of wild rice.   I'd say it made about 3 cups cooked. While the wild rice was cooking, I sautéed up some minced garlic, diced celery and diced onions in a tablespoon of olive oil.  Until they were translucent.  As an after though I threw these in a food chopper because I knew chunks of these items in a burger would turn my kids off! Once that was done, I mixed my wild rice and sautéed veggie mix together.   Next I threw in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.  The recipe above called for Asiago cheese, I however could not find any and instead used shredded parmesan.   I seasoned the mix with sea salt, crushed black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and caye...

Taco Soup

 My blood, sweat and tears went into this one.  Its a toughy.  Okay; skip the sweat, the blood and tears just came from the butter knife I used to chop up the chicken.  WHO manages to slice open a finger with a BUTTER KNIFE?!  Oh, yeah, MOI! Other than that event; this may have been the easiest thing I've cooked in months.     The hardest part of this recipe was the fact that Fareway foods did not carry green enchilada sauce, and I had to decide what to do instead.   Here is the cast of characters: 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, drained 1 (15.25 oz.) can sweet corn, drained --Oh ha, you don't see this in my picture!??  Silly me; its certainly NOT because I hate corn.  Nope....must have just been missing.    1 (12.5 oz.) can white chicken breast, drained 1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup 1 (10 oz.) c...
