Tasty Tuesday: Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs





This is one of my favorite go to recipes when the family is craving some Italian (and I don't have to feel guilty after having a plate or two).


Ingredients:

-Spaghetti Squash      1 Large or 2 Medium (a medium squash is around 3lbs) 

-Jar of your favorite Spaghetti Sauce (we love Classico Sauces over here)

-Our grocery store butcher makes "ready to bake" meatballs fresh or you can make your own following the recipe below.


Meatballs

Squash
- Cut your squash lengthwise and scoop out the membranes and seeds.  

-Place the halves cut side down in a baking dish and fill with just a little water (about an inch)

-Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes


Meatballs
  1. -Combine all ingredients and shape into 20-24 meatballs (1 to 1-1/2 inches each).
  2. -To oven bake: Place in ungreased 9x13 pan (you may want to line it with foil for easier clean-up).
  3. -Bake 20-25 min or until light brown and cooked through; turn meatballs halfway through, if desired, to help maintain a round shape.


 -Once the squash is done remove from the water and take a fork to gently scrape. The flesh will separate easily into spaghetti like strands. 



- After baking your meatballs remove and add them plus your sauce to the bowl of spaghetti. Mix it all together, top with parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Neutrals by BEHR Paint

I've been working on a project for the past two weeks and what always seems to be the most challenging part is choosing paint colors.  I have been wanting to find a nice neutral that isn't too "Gray" and isn't too "Beige" but not too white either. I personally like the look of white walls in pictures but in reality I'm not a huge fan.  Also, I like to see a contrast between painted walls and white trim.  Each time I look over on Pinterest for inspiration I find lots of suggestions for other paint brands..but I'm a BEHR girl :)  We spend so much time at Home Depot it just makes more sense for us.  That being said I decided to share with all of you my suggestions for finding the perfect "light Greige" by BEHR Paints!   To start off with here are three options that are lighter/cooler but will still show a nice contrast next to white. 1. Drizzle 2. Sterling 3. Halation These three options are als

4 Tips for Selling Your Home!

*Sponsored Post. Thank you to our talented guest blogger, Alex Berger, for sharing these 4 tips on selling your home!* Selling your home can be extremely stressful, but if you are in the beginning stages of the home selling process, I have a few tips for you! About four years ago, my parents packed up their home and moved from Marietta, Georgia to Amelia Island, which is about 30-40 minutes from the Jacksonville airport. They had no idea what to expect when it came to buying in a city that was completely new to them (they had only visited Jacksonville once - for two days!), so it was pretty stressful for them. Now, looking back, they could have done many things differently in order to make the process a lot easier for themselves, especially when it came to selling their home. But, since the selling process is so complex and stressful, a lot of people do it “wrong,” and they are just one of many, which is why I want to help. Here are a few tips for selling your home.
