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

Weekend in Miami!

  Over the past weekend we drove down to Miami and spent the night at our favorite beach front hotel..Marenas Resort.  It was our anniversary weekend and wanted to go somewhere we could have fun with the whole family. This is now the second time we have taken the girls to this particular resort (which is pretty impressive because both my husband and I love trying new places.) This resort offers "condo style" rooms which is awesome when traveling with children, has a really good onsite restaurant and is located right on Sunny Isles Beach.  The standard suite has views of both the ocean and the harbor. Stunning views! They also do NOT charge extra for beach chairs and umbrellas which is almost unheard of now a days.  It's moderately priced for everything your getting in this location. These are the views off the patios and around the pool.  I just love Miami's water! Its such a beautiful color and reminds me of the Bahamas!  We spent
