Baked Spaghetti Squash - A GAC Exclusive

Happy New Year!! I hope that y’all had a cozy and festive Christmas and kicked off 2015 in style. I enjoyed some much-needed downtime at the beach with the family, but I’m glad to be back to making music and sharing dishes with you. I’m not usually a fan of New Year’s resolutions, but this year mine was to challenge myself in the kitchen, to introduce new ingredients and make delicious healthy swaps, and just try new things.

So, I’m starting the new year with spaghetti squash, one of my favorite underused vegetables. Ditch the regular pasta for this healthy substitute and you won’t be sorry. Once cooked, this squash turns into strings of “spaghetti,” which you can toss with your favorite pasta dish ingredients, and Voilà!  This is a low-carb lover’s best friend, but if you aren’t dieting or watching what you eat, you’ll still love it…. Yes! It is THAT good.

California Breakfast Croissant - GAC Exclusive

One would be hard-pressed to find a bread creation better than the croissant. I will be forever grateful to the great Frenchman (or Frenchwoman) that discovered this light, buttery, flaky bun of heaven. I find these little gems at my local grocery store in the fresh baked breads department, and scoop ‘em up and start dreaming of the sandwich adventures I’m about to take them on. This is a great summer breakfast sandwich that is crisp, fresh and delicious! I love serving these on a lazy Sunday morning out on the patio with fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh fruit.
