Happy 2009!!!

Christmas and New Years went by really fast, I cannot believe it came and went.

I've been soo busy at work and with the wedding plans that I haven't been blogging or reading blogs hehe...

I shall be posting pictures from the holidays soon as soon as I upload the pictures and keep everyone posted about the wedding plans...

hope everyone will have a great 2009!

Spaghetti Squash

So my friend Ilanna gave me a recipe to try at home called spaghetti squash. At first I was confused about the name is it squash and spaghetti or what but she told me its squash that looks like spaghetti once its cooked. It sounded interesting and good so over the weekend I decided to try this dish as a side for my baked salmon dish.

I went to the grocery to buy squash and there it was a squash that is called "spaghetti squash" now I know why its called that way because after you bake the squash and take the filling out of the squash it does look like little strands of pasta, more like angel pasta. In olive oil, I sauteed the garlic, onions, tomatoes and after that added it onto the spaghetti squash, seasoned with pepper, garlic salt, feta cheese and tossed them together.

Jaime, our guests Kat & John liked my baked salmon and spaghetti squash dish and I have to add that Kat mixed the caesar salad (thanks for bringing it Kip). I thought it was a nice and healthy meal.

Tianna's Birthday

Today we went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Tianna's 7th birthday and I brought my camera and took some pics...Glad to see everyone again since thanksgiving and K.Dohn & Jon were in town too so I was soo happy to see them...
