Try It Tuesday!
For the longest time, I could not picture what dinner was supposed to look like without some kind of pasta or bread involved. Learning more about health has opened my eyes and I have been so excited to expand the range of things I can eat for dinner! I still love my pasta now and then, but here is one option that I have found that I am in love with. The link above is a recipe for Spaghetti Squash with healthy meatballs. I do substitute ground turkey instead of beef or pork, and I love them. Best part is - my husband loves this recipe too! All the great flavor without the things you don't need.

There are so many health benefits from a meal like this that I could go on and on about, but I really want you to make it for dinner and try it for yourself! See the change you feel in your body when you reduce the amount of breads and pastas in your diet for 2 weeks. That is my challenge for you this week!
