I had the yummiest dinner tonight, I made a spaghetti bake but on the much healthier side. Instead of using noodles I used spaghetti squash! Spaghetti squash is surprisingly easy to make, I'm glad I got over my notion of it being difficult. So I cooked the squash, pulled it out and separated the strands. Layer that with some marinara sauce, spinach, and onions. Topped it with some fat-free mozzarella and cheddar and bake for 10 minutes. Then I made some garlic bread out of the 100 calorie sandwich rounds and cooked up a Gardein chick'n scallopini breast (fake chicken breast) in a little bit of white wine. Total meal came out around 245 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 19 grams of protein. Throw in some broccoli and a salad and that equals one huge satisfying meal!
The night before the family was doing a cook-out so I took my food to the grill. Publix had some wonderful portobello mushrooms so I marinated them in balsamic dressing and then stuffed them with my Nutrisystem Mushroom Risotto dinner and topped it with some parmesan cheese. Throw it on the grill for about 5-8 minutes and you have some delicious mushroom action happening!

Sorry it was so good looking after cooking that I didn't take a picture, just dug in!
The spaghetti squash bake sounds tasty. I may have to try it one day. I'll pass on the mushroom dish.
