Baked Mexican Black Bean Spaghetti Squash from Undressed Skeleton

First off this dish was beyond delicious!! I will be making this often, and being that today normal is my Taco Tuesday day, I opted out of getting my typical Taco meal and made this instead. I am so glad that I did.

I found this recipe from Undressed Skeleton

Here is her link Undressed Skeleton

She is an awesome blogger, as I had posted earlier. I swear every day she posts new things and they are easy to make and so low in calories, which results in low plus points.

Here is her recipe for this truly amazing dish

Baked Mexican Black Bean Spaghetti Squash

Serving Size 1 cup
1pp or for 2 cups 3pp

1 extra large Spaghetti Squash
1 can of diced chili tomatoes
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed and low in sodium
4 Tbsp of Green Chilis
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 cup of shredded Mexican Reduced Fat Cheese
1/4 tsp of black pepper
1 tsp of cumin

I microwaved my spaghetti squash because I wanted to speed up the process a bit. I knew if I roasted it, it would take more than a hour. I cut the spaghetti squash in half, scooped out the seeds and guts and then microwaved each half for 8 minutes. I placed a wet paper towel over each half. Holy heck microwaving the spaghetti squash is so easy!!! There is no excuses in this household now for cooking when all it took was 8 minutes.

After I microwaved the squash, I sprayed a 9x13 pan with Pam and pre-heated my oven to 350 degrees. Then in a large bowl I put everything together, BUT only half of the cheese. I scooped out all of the squash and mixed everything together then put in pan. Then put the remaining cheese on top and baked for 30 minutes.



Then I ate lol.

Oh man was it yummy.

I put two tbsp of salsa on top and paired it with a piece of chicken for a bit more protein.

There is so much leftovers because my boyfriend is away for a few days and I am totally okay with that because more for me and I will be eating this for lunch all week!

Enjoy!

    Just made this! It was yummy, although I think my spaghetti squash was a little small, so I added poached chicken into the casserole just to "soak up" some of the tomato. Was really good!

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
