Healthy Recipe: Spaghetti With Summer Squash and Peppers
This Spring I've been looking for healthy dinner ideas that are different, tasty, and healthy. I was delighted to find this recipe for spaghetti with summer squash and peppers. Granted, it's not the easiest to make (in terms of cutting and slicing all the veggies) but it's really filling, super tasty, and definitely worth putting your knife skills to work.
Lake Shasta Houseboat BBQ: Grilled Summer Squash Salad with Arugula, Ranch Tomatoes and Tarragon Vinaigrette
This is to go with the Teriyaki Chicken Burgers with Swiss and Grilled Pineapple. I briefly considered doing a pasta salad but who wants all those carbohydrates when you are out in the water? I tried to keep it on the light side.
Stuffed Squash
Thanks to my boyfriend's grandparents who all summer have given me the largest squashes I ever I seen, I was able to try making a stuffed squash. I am used to the ones you buy at the store, a couple quick chops, a little saute and viola but it would have been a shame to saute these beauties!
Basically cut the top off the squash while it is lying down and scrap out the innards of the squash much like a pumpkin.

Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattan grocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple (which was labeled conventional, since that sounds better than "sprayed with pesticides that might kill you"). It shouldn't have been a tough choice--who wants to eat pesticide residue?--but the organic apples had been grown in California.

I see all of these summer posts, I'm so jealous!
