Your weeknight dinner just got a lot more tasty with this Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash recipe featuring GALBANI® RICOTTA AND MOZZARELLA CHEESE.

Lasagna Stuffed Squash Boats recipe from dineanddish.net

One of my travel bucket list items is to visit Italy. In fact, I’m trying to convince my husband that we need to go sooner rather than later. I dream of the cafes, coffee, pasta, fresh ingredients, loaves of bread and most importantly…the cheese.

Italian food is one of my absolute favorite cuisines and I love incorporating delicious Italian recipes into our busy weeknight meals. No matter what I make for my family, if it’s Italian, it’s a sure-fire guarantee that they’ll eat it! If I can’t visit Italy any time soon, I can do my best to bring a little bit of Italy into my Kansas kitchen.

Galbani Ricotta and Mozzarella Cheese

Cooking with spaghetti squash is something I love to do this time of year when squash is abundant in farmers markets and grocery stores. I love the versatility of cooking with spaghetti squash and especially love how well it goes with authentic Italian recipes. The pairing of spaghetti squash, marinara and cheese is one of the best, in my opinion.

Cheesy Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash recipe

The key to making the best Italian dish is the cheese. Listen, you can’t go with just any cheese if you want to create real, Italian goodness. GALBANI® BRAND OF CHEESE, with it’s rich, Italian history, is Italy’s #1 cheese brand, and the perfect cheese to really bring flavor and authenticity to your Italian recipes.

Galbani Cheese

These Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats were inspired by a pantry cleaning. I found a box of broken lasagna noodles, and instead of throwing them away, I decided to make a different version of lasagna. Adding the spaghetti squash gave it some extra nutritional value and also offered up a fun and tasty presentation!

    I was in Italy earlier this year and the thing I loved the most? The cheese! Seriously it was incredible. So much better than even the Italian cheeses here. I would go back in a heartbeat!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing. I am so lucky to be working with really great clients who are doing the hard work and making big changes in their lives. It’s been the perfect fit for me and I know it’s what I am meant to be doing. Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
