Holey Donuts and Shrimp, Veggies & Spaghetti Squash

I’m glad you guys enjoyed the larabar reviews! I'm not positive when the new bars will officially be out (the website just says SOON- any help lara)? Work went by quick again today (fabulous). After, I ran a few errands, but mostly relaxed! I also received a sweet package- 3 boxes of Holey Donuts (low fat, gourmet goodies) from a contest I won at Soap & Chocolate. Thank you Diana! I plan to bring these into work tomorrow to share!!


For dinner I made spaghetti squash (micro waved, directions below) with steamed cauliflower/broccoli, boiled shrimp, and a little pasta sauce. Simple, easy, delicious! Unmixed:


Mixed up:

Spaghetti Squash Microwave Directions:

Cut squash in half and remove the seeds. Put in a glass (or other microwaveable) dish cut side down with 1/4 cup water. Cover with a paper towel and cook on high for 10 minutes.

I also ate some cantaloupe and PB. I have a little bit of housework to finish, but other than that I really plan to just relax! What are you doing tonight?

  15. Oh man, your dinner looks great! I absolutely love the combination of the shrimp and spaghetti squash, what a good idea! You always have such healthy and colorful meals:)

    I've wanted to try Holey Donuts though, to be honest, I'm not much of a donut gal. I look forward to your review!

  19. Donuts that are good for you? Get out!! That is awesome. I love me some donuts but don't eat them too often.

    I've yet to do the spaghetti squash - do you use acorn squash? It looks SO GOOD whenever I see pics of it.
