Happy Halloween Eve...

Is this genius or what?  I have a gingerbread boy cookie cutter that (up until now) only makes an appearance once a year...  if I can find a way to outfit him with turkey tail feathers... he might start to earn his room and board...

A Festive Place to Rest...


I like to shop outside the box not only for myself but also for gifts...
 
 
so I headed over to Etsy

and found a little pillow love...

Eat Your Veggies...

Last night I had dinner with an old friend... spaghetti squash... It's that time of year when you can justify firing up the oven to roast your favorite veggies...  This is healthy, fast and easy peasy...

Cut the squash lengthwise... scoop out the seeds and stringy bits with a spoon... rinse... pat dry... salt and pepper to taste and add a pat or two of butter... place each halve on a baking sheet... cover each with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes (depending on the size of your squash.)  Remove from oven and scoop strands from the rind... fluff with a fork... drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with parsley and a generous amount of parmesan cheese... enjoy!
