Eating Right

As we've discussed, eating right is very important when working toward complete physical fitness. In the last week, I have greatly emphasized good food and a healthy diet. Here are a few new dishes I tried...and found great success:

-Spaghetti Squash: Microwave whole spaghetti squash (which can be found at your local grocery store) to soften for cutting. Cut spaghetti squash length-wise and split into two halves. Rinse both halves well. Place halves on next to each other in 9 by 13" baking dish with "cut" side up. Pour about 1 cup of water in bottom of dish. Dot each halve with butter, salt, and pepper. Bake @ 350 degrees for approximately 1 hr. 15 min. (or unitl soft and spaghetti strands come loose easily with fork). Scrape the spaghetti strands from each half onto a plate.
*Suggestions: Serve with butter, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, and/or marinara sauce.
ENJOY!

-Toast: This is a yummy, quick, and filling breakfast made with protein and fruit! Toast one piece of your favorite high-fiber bread (preferably). Spread with peanut butter. Top with sliced banannas, and sprinkle cinnamon to top it off. Easy and DELICIOUS!

-Toast (European Option): Toast one piece of your favorite high-fiber bread (preferably). Top with sliced tomatoes and shredded cheese. Broil or bake unti cheese melts. Voila!

Hope these healthy alternatives help you remember, in spite of the workout struggles, eating can still be fun!
