 A Fall Dish of Nutritious Deliciousness: Roasted Spaghetti Squash Topped With Homemade Turkey and Veggie Packed Marinara Looking for a fall seasonal dish that’s equally tasty and nutritious? This may just be the recipe for you! It’s a rainbow of hearty, palate appealing ingredients, packed full of protein, fiber and vitamins. You can sub a few ingredients and make this an easy vegan option too! It’s low fat, full of flavor and filling. Roasted spaghetti squash is such an easy option when it comes to pasta. The winter vegetable is a healthier option to traditional flour based pasta. It’s lower carb full of fiber and stocked with vitamins and antioxidants. It goes in the oven to roast while the sauce simmers. No pots boiling over pasta water. It couldn’t be easier. This dish can be changed in so many ways. It can be topped with a creamy yogurt sauce for a French flair, tahini based sauce for a Mediterranean flavor or like I prepare it here for an Italian twist. Use vegan ingredients, turkey, beef, tofu, or shrimp. The possibilities are endless. Each natural ingredient lends its own nutritional, vitamin, mineral and antioxidant component, making this dish a warm, nourishing comfort food perfect for the season. So let’s get on to the details. What you need: Roasting pan or cookie sheet Spaghetti Squash cleaned and halved (1/2 per serving) Olive oil brushed on the open squash halves topped with Dash of salt and pepper Place sliced, oiled side down on pan to roast For the sauce 1 lb ground turkey or (tofu for vegan) 2 garlic cloves crushed 1 onion (I used red - it’s all I had on hand, yellow would be ideal) 1 can of tomato sauce 1 can optional Pumpkin purée for thicker sauce 1 TBSP Fennel seeds (adds a nutty sausage flavor) 1 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 TBSP Garlic powder Crushed red pepper flakes to taste 1/2 tsp celery salt Pinch of salt and pinch of pepper 16 oz Spinach 8 oz Mushrooms Mozzarella and Parmesan to taste as a topping  Leave me a comment if you try this dish. I would love to your thoughts. Follow me here and on social for my healthy habits to stay fit, fueled and healthy over the age of 50.

In response to lots of questions about my typical day, I am posting the general outline. This plan has worked for ME since the end of 2018, when I decided to make some major changes in my health, happiness and overall fitness. Of course, there’s a lot more detail under each of these headings. This gives the general look of my day, including: food, fitness, health, and a generic layout of how I schedule to fit it all in. My day starts, typically at 5:00 AM and ends around midnight. I start off with a detox drink in the morning and have found my best fitness and muscle building results come with doing multi-tasking, working cardio first thing, followed by a 1 minute plank. If I do this, I feel great, even if my day turns where I am able to do nothing else physical. Next up, fruit and coffee, while packing meal-prepped family lunches. After school drop-off & quick errands, I enjoy a working breakfast. Below, my usual routine is summed up in images. A few notes: I do include movement and some quick bursts of muscle building all day. Squats can be completed anywhere, with no equipment; next to a desk, in a kitchen, even on break, in the employee area or restroom of a work establishment. Doing 20 - 30 squats at a time, throughout the day can drastically improve your fitness and physique - as they work core, balance, and legs all at once. At first I felt silly if anyone caught me doing these. Now, it’s a standing joke “have to get me squats in”…I even have others doing it too! I encourage you, if you are just starting out, and don’t know where to start, just do a 1 minute plank (on the ground, a counter, or against a wall every day. Add 20 squats each day and see what happens after sticking with it for 2 weeks. 2 weeks!!! That’s what it takes to begin a new habit, shift mindset, and see some change. Please let me know if you try this. I would love to hear some feedback! Now… for my day….keep in mind what I am sharing below is what works for me. You must find what works for you. I am not a health expert, I do encourage you to speak with your own healthcare provider about any diet, health or fitness activities you are considering. I hope you find a tip or 2 below helpful!              photos © copyright SheDo50Too
