Spaghetti Squash
I put this recipe up a while ago, but FINALLY took the challenge of making it last week! And I loved it and I’m planning on making it regularly. Here’s what my Spaghetti Squash looked like and the Recipe I used.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Spaghetti Squash
Olive oil
1 Onion & 1 tomato
1 clove of garlic minced
Basil
3/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut your Squash in half and place CUT SIDES DOWN on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile heat oil in a medium skillet and saute onion and garlic. Add tomatoes, cook only till warm.
Use a medium spoon to scoop out the stringy pulp from the inside of the squash and place in a medium bowl ( I found it easier to rake out the squash with a fork). Toss with the tomatoes and Onion, add basil, and feta cheese. Serve Warm.

These are just a few essential items you can find in my home when my husband is preparing for a fight! Click on each item to find out what specifically they provide in terms of health benefits.
Color your Eggs, and Eat ‘em Too!
1. Eggs are great for the eyes. According to one study, an egg a day may prevent muscular degeneration due to the carotenoid content, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin. Both nutrients are more readily available to our bodies from eggs than from other sources.
2. In another study, researchers found that people who eat eggs every day lower their risk of developing cataracts, also because of the lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs.
3. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.
4. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease. In fact, according to one study, regular consumption of eggs may help prevent blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks.
5. They are a good source of choline. One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline. Choline is an important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.
6. They contain the right kind of fat. One egg contains just 5 grams of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.
7. New research shows that, contrary to previous belief, moderate consumption of eggs does not have a negative impact on cholesterol. In fact, recent studies have shown that regular consumption of two eggs per day does not affect a person’s lipid profile and may, in fact, improve it. Research suggests that it is saturated fat that raises cholesterol rather than dietary cholesterol.
8. Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.
9. Eggs may prevent breast cancer. In one study, women who consumed at least 6 eggs per week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 44%.
10. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulfur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals. Many people find their hair growing faster after adding eggs to their diet, especially if they were previously deficient in foods containing sulfur or B12.
