    I’ve made a lot of progress this week in my goal to cook with at least one new ingredient each week.After my half marathon, Brett and I stopped at the Winter Park Farmers Market and picked up a bunch of produce. In addition to our regular produce, we got bok choy, fennel and spaghetti squash – three veggies that I have yet to cook with before.

    I sauteed the bok choy with some salt and pepper and put it inside a whole wheat wrap with sweet potato, black beans and tomato. It definitely reminds me of some Asian dishes I’ve had and made me want to try it again soon in a noodle soup or something like a Thai pineapple rice stir fry recipe.

    For the fennel, I roasted the bulb with some potatoes and carrots and used the leaves and soft stems to make a lemon, fennel dressing. This dish turned out great! I’ll be sharing it soon.

    Lastly, for the spaghetti squash I combined two recipes to make this cheesy dish. I know I’m way behind in using spaghetti squash, but it really was so easy and shredded just like spaghetti.

    How To Bake Spaghetti Squash

    To cook the spaghetti squash, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and cut your squash in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.

    Place the halves face up on a baking dish and spray the halves with cooking spray.

    Then stick it in the oven and roast for about 50 minutes until its tender enough to poke with a fork.

    After it cools enough to touch, just take a fork and shred the squash horizontally until all the squash has been removed.

      I was looking for a recipe to use spaghetti squash in a casserole cause I don’t like it with marinara sauce and decided to try this one. I just happen to have everything on hand plus roasted mushrooms and leftover rice. I made the “cheese” sauce, mixed it all together and then baked it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes and then broiled it for a few minutes. It turned out great!!!! It’s a keeper!! I think even my husband, who will eat vegan with me on occasion, will like it! Thanks!

      This looks great, but it is not vegan if it uses milk. Thank you.

        Hey Marilyn! Sorry if the recipe was confusing, but it calls for Almond Milk with is a dairy-free milk. I hope that helps!
