Lunch for 2 weeks (and late too)

I forgot to create last week's lunches post, though I was rather proud of it.

Last Week's Lunch

Italian Sausage in Cream Sauce baked over Spaghetti Squash  (think Sausage Alfredo sauce over Veggie Noodles)  The squash came from the local farmer's market and I cooked it in a crockpot after finding a recipe online, and the sausage was from a local supermarket's reduced meats section.  the combination turned out well, although I've been told that spaghetti squash should be eaten with "a hearty sauce"  like marinara.

see? seed

I even got a seed I forgot to clean out ... well, a couple of seeds.

What I would change

I'm not too happy with using the crockpot for cooking up the squash, it took two hours, which wasn't a problem, but when I took it out, part was a bit too browned to eat..

I am pleasantly surprised that the dish went together as well as it did.  The sauce didn't puddle too badly (always a risk with a sauce-n-noodle meal) and the squash didn't get yucky even when re-heated.



This week's Lunch
Turnips, cooked with carrots and all mashed together (it's peach colored!) with chicken bits that were dredged in flower with salt, pepper and garlic, then baked.  Not too imaginative, but filling, even if it needs to have salt added.  Dessert is either plain greek yogurt with raspberry jam spooned in or a soft flour cake

What I would change

... a bit less milk when mashing the 'neeps, but maybe put the butter in after the mashing when it's cold, that way it may stand out more.  Still seasonal food though, and yummy.
