Acorn squash stuffed w quinoa

Acorn squash is great. You can stuff it w anything and it will taste good. Cut the acorn in half and scoop the seeds out. Put some butter and brown sugar on the flesh of acorn. Face down on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 30 min. While that's going get together what ever ingredients you want your stuffing to be. I used quinoa, onion, celery & mushrooms. Sauté the veggies then add quinoa w cranberries and walnuts. Fill acorns then bake for an additional 30 min. Salt and pepper to taste. It's really good. You can fill it with whatever you like. I'm just really loving quinoa right now.

Jackfruit "beef" Stew

  SATURDAY WITH MY PARENTS! Pokey went fishing and I went grocery shopping. I love to hang out with my family. I love them with my entire heart. I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to join me while I picked up a few things from the store. Of course, she said yes. When I get to my parents she says my dad wants tacos from Cristobal. I'm down because they really have great tacos. I got beans and nopales (cactus) Look how cute my parents are. 43 years in February.  I love that they show love to each other.  We ended up going to HEB and I didn't grab much but I got some acorn squash and some okra.  It was a cold Saturday and I know him being on the water plus the wind I know he would appreciate a warm meal when he came home. My mom in law bought us a Ninja Foodi and I have been intimidated by it for almost a year. This is probably the 4th time I have used it. I had one of those meal cheaters, it was beef stew one where you add meat and some veggies.  I added ...

Movie Night:Hungry for Change

Last night we watched Hungry for Change. I love docs. I love docs about food! For me it helps me keep on track with what I'm doing as far as food. Sometimes I think I miss meat but I really don't. I try my hardest not to have processed food in our house. I'm glad Pokey (Husband) is on board. He will eat what ever I make. Last night I wanted Italian. I made some "pasta" I used yam noodles. So good. So lo in carbs it's great. I used bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, garlic and Italian spices. For our personal pizzas I used whole wheat high fiber lo carb tortillas. I love thin crust pizza so for my it was a no brainer. I loaded them w the same veggies I used for my sauce. I used "meatless" pepperoni and dairy free cheese. They were delish!!!

Gnocchi and Sauce

Let me start by saying I just wanted peppers and onions and wants a taco. Pokey comes in the kitchen and wanted gnocchi. (Gross) I just can't get behind eating a ball of dough. We really debated in the store behind it. I did not want him to buy it. However I let him slide because it was whole wheat and not enriched. Anywho...  1 bell pepper 1 poblano 1 onion  1 case of mushrooms 3 small yellow an orange peppers.  When he said he wanted gnocchi I added 3 tomatoes and Italian seasoning and garlic (1tsp) When I turned around to text w my sister in law he added... Champagne and Cavendar's Greek seasoning.  He threw in a little balsamic vinegar. I didn't fight him. He knows what he wants. I was no longer getting my tacos "/ Notice the pic above w veggies in a bowl? I kept those on the side while I put the veggies in the pan in the blender then added the remainder veggies back into the pan then simmered everything together. Now I added a little bit of olive oil and tomato ...
