Default EZ Cooks Veggie ~ LIVES!

That's right! I cooked an all veggie meal last night and lived

I made Southwest Spaghetti Squash. It was the first time I ever cooked spaghetti squash...not the first time I ever cooked an all veggie meal though In fact last week I made a Hearty Vegetable soup that was quite delish

Angie and I both liked it and I lived through it ....imagine that...a meal without meat

I took some pictures too...

# 1 ~ Traditional tearing of the squash # 2 ~ 1/2 way through decorated with tomatoes, black beans, cilantro, spices... cheese yet to come # 3 ~ What it is supposed to look like # 4 ~ What mine did look like and finally # 5 ~ My mess!

lol!!! Love the B & A pictures!!! Omg, that dish looks tasty! I was vegan before, and I absolutely love spaghetti squash. You can also cook it straight in the oven if you cut it in half and turn it upside down in a little water. It gets steamed kind of. It is so delicious.

Gary, a couple of comments and a question ? Question first, when do you add the Coors Light ? Comment next, it looks delish but I think the addition of cheese knocks it out of the vegan ballpark.

Ya, the ever present beer can!

Your dish looks yummy, no matter what the cookbook looks like.

It was good and tasty JEN. Not sure on vegan rules but I think if the cheese was removed it would still taste great.

I starting adding the Coors Light around 3pm...an hour before I started cooking anything The cheese does knock it out of veganland but I was looking for veggie and I think Jen just meant when she was eating vegan she had spaghetti squash a lot.

OK...We had leftovers of the dish...Angie took some for lunch and saved some for me. My sister came to visit, she has breast cancer as some of you know...anyway she is doing chemo and has trouble with some smells/tastes/etc. She was hungry so I had her try my leftovers...she has never been a big eater...I had a MAN SIZE bowl that I warmed up for her...she ate the whole thing loved it!!!

Who's da man?...I'm the BIG BROTHER!!!
