"Hello my name is Kate and I am a CREATURE OF HABIT."
This short coming of mine dictates many aspects of my life, especially my culinary creations. Each week I follow a schedule that includes a veggie dish on Mondays, a meat dish on Tuesday, a fish dish on Wednesday and a poultry dish on Thursday (Side note: Friday nights have always been and will continue to be Pizza Night in my household).
In addition to that pattern of proteins, I also plan on every Sunday being "Slow Cooker Sunday." This past Sunday, knowing that I would spend a majority of the afternoon routing on the JETS, I decided to utilize the crock pot for pre-dinner prep. I placed my spaghetti squash into the slow cooker,
as per the instructions of Hungry Girl, and waited for the strands to be "shred" ready.
Once the squash was cool enough to handle, I wrapped the shredded "spaghetti strands" in a towel to remove the excess water. Since spaghetti squashes are very water dense, I placed the wrapped strands in a clean towel in my refrigerator to allow for maximum moisture removal while I went to the stadium.
Having cheered my butt off at the game, I was thrilled to be able to quickly cook this delicious
Spaghetti Squash Lasagna for my husband and I upon returning. Not only did it appease my "creature of habit" nature, but it also acted as the comfort that I needed due to the Jets' loss.
