Spaghetti Squash with Sausage, Med-Style; we’re done with orange, finally

Thyme for Cooking Posted on by

We had a discussion, chez nous, the other day, regarding the remaining winter squash in the cave. There are 2 pumpkins and 2 butternut squashes (although 1 of the pumpkins is borderline….). Mon mari decided it was time to quit. He, who has claimed to love winter squash above all things, has decided he’s eaten enough orange veggies for this season. With visions of broccoli and Brussels sprouts and cabbage … Continue reading →

Spaghetti Squash Gratin, II; the last of Paris

Thyme for Cooking Posted on by

I have a love-hate relationship with spaghetti squash….. I love eating it but I hate cooking it. First – it’s hard. Really hard. I use my big cleaver and a mallet to cut it. Second – it has to be scraped out twice. The initial scraping is to get all the seeds out, then it has to be scraped again to get the actual cooked squash out of the hard … Continue reading →

Spaghetti Squash Timbales; Lyon

Thyme for Cooking Posted on by

This is a lazy dish that looks a bit fancy….. Perfect holiday entertaining. Well, it is as long as you have leftover spaghetti squash and some tomato sauce in the freezer or pantry. We are two. When I cut into a spaghetti or butternut squash I know that we will have enough for at least 2 meals, more likely 3 or even 4. Even the ‘small’ squashes are big. So … Continue reading →

Spaghetti Squash Pizza; strange things

Thyme for Cooking Posted on by

It’s a strange day today (day after US elections). As I have no words or, actually, far too many words, I thought I would just share some strange food that I’ve been making. The first, the pizza, is an actual recipe (now) and worthy of sharing. I see cauliflower crusts and zucchini crusts….. I have winter squashes. In particular I have a lot of spaghetti squashes Cook the spaghetti squash ahead … Continue reading →

I can work with that. Spaghetti Squash with Ginger Meatballs Total time: 60 minutes Ingredients: 12oz (360gr) ground beef 1 egg 1/4 cup crumbs 1 tbs Dijon-style mustard 1 tbs soy sauce 1 tbs Balsamic vinegar 1 tbs minced ginger, divided … Continue reading →

Spaghetti Squash Bolognese, comfort food & Baloo

Thyme for Cooking Posted on by

Comfort food. It varies from person to person and country to country. I, personally, have never seen the over-the-top appeal of Mac & Cheese. It’s good, yes; comforting, probably; but something to order in a restaurant? I don’t think so! Something to put lobster in (shudder)?!?!? Why would I do that to lobster?!? When I’m feeling a bit under the weather and am craving comfort food I always opt for … Continue reading →

Spaghetti Squash, Mediterranean Style; new toys

Thyme for Cooking Posted on by

I suppose one could call it an early Christmas present….. I’d been planning / hoping to get a new computer sometime in the next year or so. Mine was 4 years old and excruciatingly slow. Okay, maybe I have too many programs open at the same time, but that’s the way I like to work. Mon mari’s computer was really old – probably close to 10 years, although bits of … Continue reading →
