Does this smell okay to you?

Good news everyone! Spring is here...Bad news everyone...the pollen decided to come along with it haha! Just kidding, it sucks for my allergies and sinuses but its a good thing for the flowers and plants etc.

So I made this awesome not to bad for you dish the other day, I couldn't smell any of the ingredients but I could sort of taste them. Just to be sure that it was okay to eat I had my beloved, David try it and see if it was any good, he seemed to like it pretty well so thats a good thing.

Spaghetti squash, Pretty sure that this little angel was made just for me...and anyone else that really likes spaghetti squash I guess LOL.

Does anyone else watch the other drivers (like the actual person) while they are driving? Any of my readers? I do, but I think that I made several people feel bad this past week. As some of you may know, we moved to a new place in the same town, we had people come and help us with the big stuff and then we (David and I) (along with my saint of a Mother one day..shout out to super Mom!!) moved all of the little stuff. Well...as this past week progressed, all of the moving dust, mixed with pollen, mixed with the new air/heating system of the new house I have looked like a puffy faced, snot nosed, Rudolph resembling, cry baby looking person. Let me set the scene for you, I am driving in my little car down the street. It is piled up to the gills with clothes, dishes, anything else that I/We own. I am looking like I am bawling my eyes out because my eyes are watering so bad, this poor woman next to me facing the opposite way in the traffic jam that it 5 Pm in this place looked over and saw my car was all packed up. I am not sure exactly what she thought, maybe I was moving out of my parents house for the first time, or maybe I had just been evicted (the sloppy way I looked could probably corroborate that theory), maybe even broken up with my boyfriend/husband type situation....I don't know so I can't say for sure but she even tried to check on me by cocking her head to the side and giving me the okay question hand gesture....I nodded and reached over and grabbed the roll of paper towels and blew my nose for the 500 billionth time for that day. Allergies suck. Just sayin.

So back to the spaghetti squash dish.

Spaghetti squash (cooked, seeded, and scraped from the shell)
chicken broth
can of diced tomatoes (you can use the Italian seasoned kind  that would be perfect)
can (big or small depending on your love of) mushrooms
italian seasoning
basil
oregano
lime juice (small squirt)
little  sugar
a small little bit og garlic
onion powder
and surprisingly cinnamon

what you do is spray your skillet ( I use a deep one from Rachael Ray) add in your garlic on a medium heat and let that brown up slightly.
add in the tomatoes
add in the mushrooms
add in the chicken broth to where it comes to the top of the mixture, you can cover it all of the way because the spaghetti squash is going to soak this up.
Season it with whatever seasonings you like, I listed all of the ones I used up top.
 Add in your spaghetti squash and cover the skillet and let cook stirring frequently for about 20 minutes. You may need to add a little more chicken broth, this is 100% okay. Just have fun with it and add in and do what makes you happy.
