It's uncanny how much cooked spaghetti squash looks like pasta. What's even more uncanny is that my kids didn't question that it wasn't pasta. When they asked, "what's for dinner", I honestly said, "spaghetti squash." They didn't even flinch; they just gobbled it up like they do when they eat pasta. I had never cooked or even eaten spaghetti squash until last week when I found one in our CSA box along with directions on how to cook it.

My family had an busy summer filled with the beach, the zoo , the pool, and a flurry of other activities. But like all good things, summer 2012 has come to an end and luckily, my kids were excited to see it go. My oldest entered 1st grade last week at a new school and she was very anxious to ride the bus for the first time, meet new friends and her new teacher.

I didn't bother growing basil in my garden this year, because we always receive such large quantities from our CSA. I froze the last batch that we received to use later in the fall and winter when I make a lot of soups and casseroles. It is fairly easy process, but you can't just put the basil leaves in the freezer like I do when I freeze other herbs.

Our schedule and routine has changed quite a bit since school started and I'm relying on my crock pot to help ease the dinner time madness. I found this recipe that I adapted a bit in my search to use up some lentils in my pantry. My whole family enjoyed the stew. Even my husband who claims that he hates 'stew'. Serve with a side salad, steamed veggie or homemade applesauce and homemade artisan bread.

My husband accuses me of cooking too much pasta.really, is there such a thing. So I showed him. I cooked up some spaghetti squash. I felt like I was eating pasta, he was happy it wasn't a carb, and the kids gobbled it up. Everyone was happy. Tomato, Basil, & Garlic over Spaghetti Squash. 2 cups grape tomatoes, sliced in half. 4-6 cloves garlic, minced. ¼ cup olive oil. 1 cooked spaghetti squash, shredded.
