Good Ol’ Spaghetti

dsc00060.JPG

I made a bowl of spaghetti for dinner tonight. Just what I’ve been craving. I cooked about 5 cremini mushrooms and 1/3 a green pepper in a skillet and added 3/4 of a cup-ish of Cabernet Marinara (from a jar), tossed it with angel hair and topped with parmesan. A nice filling bowl!

dsc00059.JPG

On the side I had a huge arugula salad (farm fresh!) with goat cheese (the last of it so not much) plus a handful of blueberries –

Evening snacks: pineapple + a Morning Glory Muffin. I ate both at 7:45 during our break. Despite being voluminous, the spaghetti dinner only lasted me about 3 hours.

I’m thankful I get to sleep in tomorrow because this mornings 4:50 awakening was too early for not getting to bed before 10:00 last night. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………

    Kath, did your CSA package come labeled with what the different veggies were? I’m worried that I won’t be able to recognize everything! Ours comes next Thurs, I’m so pumped!

    It has a private blog that lists each week’s delivery. Otherwise I’d have NO clue!!

    Leeds and Broccoli Rabi? Do you mean Leeks and Broccoli Rabe?

    How was the muffin? Was it filling, how many calories?

    Thanks for the tip about the turkey, I will be sure to try it!

    That delivery looks awesome.

    Kath, how would you modify your current food intake if you were trying to lose weight rather than maintain?

    Ok, so this is a non-food related question, but I figured most would be able to answer it anyhow and I’d really appreciate the input. I have a slight acne issue and have been using Proactive for the past month or so. I had been cleansing my face prior to working out in the evening with a make-up remover cloth and then in the evening washing my face with Proactive.

    I decided to mix it up today and washed my face with Proactive pre-workout and am planning on just splashing my face with water before bed tonight.

    In short, do you think splashing ones face with water after a sweaty workout is sufficient or should I be using some sort of mild cleanser? Wow, sorry – I didn’t mean for this question to get so long. Thank you for all and any responses!

    Kath – for good old spaghetti that dinner looks awesome. I never thought of adding blueberries to a salad. The other day I threw some peaches into mine and it was superb. 🙂

    Haha, that’s a huge box of misspelled awesomeness! Unless, of course, you’ve stumbled upon entirely new vegetables all together. I’ve ignored and neglected arugula for far too long, often replacing it with spinach in any recipes it was called for. I intend to change that and try some darn arugula!

    I wanted to know did you eat the whole bowl of spagetti plus salad? If yes, how much calories was it in all?? 😀

    May 28, 2008 at 11:12 pm

    I think it’s leeks and broccoli rabe and bok choi.

    Also? Tapenade. Not Tampenade.

    I’m not being a jerk. I just feel compelled to fix it.

    Oh my on the spelling – I copied and pasted the list directly from the CSA website so the errors are on the growers themselves! I was wondering what leeds were myself….makes much more sense with the K!

    Robin,
    Morning Glory Muffin post (with info and recipe):
    https://www.katheats.com/?p=4288

    They were great.

    Laurel ,
    The FAQ page, particularly #1, has your answer 🙂

    Saima ,
    Yes, I ate it all! I’d let you know if I didn’t finish something. I would breakdown the dish as follows:
    Spaghetti (2 oz, dry, which I did measure) – 200
    Sauce – ~100
    Veggies – ~50
    Salad – ~50
    = ~400

    How often does your CSA deliver? That’s a very large amount to receive, it looks so good! I’ve also seen that you have quite a love for Duke and Durham, may I ask what’s your connection? Did you grow up in the area and do you have any secret loves for dining or shopping? I’ve lived here just over a year and love it, I work at Duke too.

    Thanks Em. This will be known as the “Typo Post” from now on.

    Jessica ,
    We got an every-other-week membership this year. It IS a lot of veggies and I think the weekly memberships are that many each week. That’s a lot of veggies for 2 people!

    Re. Duke, my grandmother went to Duke, as did my uncle, and both my parents, who met there. I almost went myself, but thought Davidson’s small liberal arts focus was a better fit for my personality at the last minute. I also grew up right down the road in Hillsborough and went to Duke basketball games my whole life. So I guess you could say it’s in the blood!
