Warm Apple Pie Dessert

My biggest downfall is my sweet tooth! It usually gets to me some time after dinner, a couple hours before bed. That is never a good time to have something to eat but sometimes I just HAVE to have SOMETHING…. ANYTHING. I have found myself spoon deep in the peanutbutter or…. nutella (we don’t keep that in the house anymore :x). So this warm apple pie dessert has got me HOOKED and its 21 Day Fix APPROVED!

* If you would like more information on the 21 Day Fix please email fit_trish@yahoo.com*

(1Purple) 1 Apple of your choice. I use gala for fiji apples. peeled and diced.

(tsp) 2-3 tsp peanutbutter (this depends on how many you get for the day/tastebuds)

(free) Sprinkle of cinnamon.

Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir up and BOOM. Deliciousness.

*TIP* Add 5 Ghiradelli all natural milk chocolate chips. Stir with peanutbutter after the microwave. (For 21 Day Fixers the chocolate chips count as a tsp)

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats

Hey Everyone!

I am sorry for not posting in a while! Let’s get this train back on the tracks and make 2014 the best year ever! Today I am sharing one of my favorite Sunday dinners: Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats. YUM!

This is a recipe i got from Skinnytaste.com which is a great website for new healthy meal ideas. Although this recipe IS on their site I made a few changes and listed them in the recipe posted below. I hope you enjoy it!

Spaghetti Squash Sausage Lasagna Boats

Ingredients:
1 small to medium spaghetti squash
salt and fresh pepper, to taste
1/3 cup part skim ricotta cheese
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped parsley (or basil)
1/2 cup whole milk shredded mozzarella cheese

For the sauce:
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
7 oz Turkey sausage (i like hot turkey sausage)
14 oz (1/2 can) crushed tomatoes (I prefer Tuttorosso)
salt and fresh pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped basil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and membrane. Season lightly with salt and black pepper; bake about 1 hour, or longer if needed on a baking sheet, cut side down. 
If you prefer the microwave, cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and fibers and place on a microwave safe dish and cover. Microwave 8-9 minutes or until soft.

2. In a small bowl combine the ricotta cheese, 2 tbsp parmesan cheese and parsley.

3. In a large deep sauté pan, heat oil and add onions and garlic; sauté on medium-low for about 3 to 4 minutes, until soft. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up into smaller pieces until browned and cooked through. When cooked, add the crushed tomatoes and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Add the bay leaf and cover, reducing heat to low. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes, then add in fresh basil at the very end.

4. When spaghetti squash is cooked, let it cool for about 10 minutes keeping the oven on. If you microwaved this, preheat the oven to 400°F.

5. When the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to remove flesh, which will come out in spaghetti looking strands reserving the shells. Drain the squash on a paper towel to soak up any excess liquid, then toss with half of the sauce. Place the spaghetti squash back into the shell and place on a baking sheet.

6. Top each with remaining sauce, 1 tbsp ricotta cheese mixture, and 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese.

7. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until everything is hot and the cheese is melted.

ENJOY!
