Best Tip For Prepping Spaghetti Squash
Ok, who is intimidated by the thought of having to cut the spaghetti squash in half?!?! Me, me, me! The first time I bought a spaghetti squash I lived by myself and was so excited to cook with it, but then got home and realized I had to do the cutting. Ugh…after almost slicing a finger off, I got it cut but basically vowed to never do that again. I thought that was the first and last time I’d cook with spaghetti squash, but then I ate the meal I prepared and loved it and wanted to eat it all the time. Total dilemma. So, the next time I went to the grocery store I politely asked a guy working in the produce section if he would kindly do the cutting for me and he was like yeah, no problem. So….until I started dating Justin, that was my go-to for spaghetti squash and is still my best tip for getting it cut in half. Luckily now, Justin takes responsibility for safely cutting our spaghetti squash in half. Phew! But if you’re like me and totally intimidated, just ask someone working in the produce section to cut it for you! Problem solved and now you can enjoy all the spaghetti squash you want! You’re welcome!
Creamy And Dairy-Free
This bacon ranch chicken casserole is dairy-free and creamy from the homemade ranch used in it. Do you make your own ranch dip or dressing? We love making our own because it’s super easy and also because it’s WAY more creamy and delicious than the store-bought kind. And..there are no crap ingredients, just quality Paleo-friendly mayo and some dried seasonings. Then you mix it up with the rest of the ingredients in this casserole, and the result is a lot of ranchy, creamy goodness! You won’t even miss the dairy, we promise!
Don’t Forget To Add Some Greens
We chose to add some broccoli into this dish to sneak some extra greenery in. Gotta get those servings in! You could even add some kale or other greens. You could also sub another veggie in place of the broccoli. Some options would be asparagus, canned artichokes (note to self to try that next time we make this), green beans, baby bok choy, etc. You can definitely get creative and adjust to your preferences. Let us know how it goes if you do!
