So I've had to take over the cooking lately, cooking before you have to go to work is tiring. And it makes you hungry. In the past week I've made:

- aloo ki subzi (stir fried potatoes)
- bhindi ki subzi (stir fried okra)
- broccoli ki subzi
- Fettuccine with tomatoes, basil, cilantro, carrots, celery, eggplant, onions, lots of fresh thyme, spices and hot sauce.
- Morrocan chicken with olives
- paneer and gobi pakoras (cheese and cauliflower)
- ginger chicken- I added carrot shavings and chives this time, tasted yummy.
- roasted asparagus

I wanted to make fried ravioli tomorrow but I couldn't find the fresh brand I like to use. And I need to use up parmesan so I might make alfredo tomorrow or some parmesan roasted potatoes.

it's the american way!

no seriously, have you ever noticed how many american recipes call for cheese? it's hard to find one with it.

we've had to cut back on cheese in my house after I realized how much I was using.

Mmm, cheese. Be still my beating wisconsin heart.

I'm making this this weekend inshaAllah. Yaaay squash!



INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil



DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Place spaghetti squash cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Remove squash from oven, and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook only until tomatoes are warm.
Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash, and place in a medium bowl. Toss with the sauteed vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and basil. Serve warm.

If you're never had bread cheese, get it. Spray a pan with cooking spray, and then toast it.
