| Spaghetti Squash Puttanesca |
Daily Tidbit: According to the American Heart Association 1/2 cup of Vegetables or Vegetable juice counts as 1 serving of Vegetables (except for leafy greens, which is 1 cup for 1 serving).

Having Vegetables cooked and ready to go in the fridge is the easiest way to quickly put together a healthy meal. I managed to make my entire lunch, Spaghetti Squash Puttanesca (pictured above), from things already cooked and ready to go in the fridge. Within 5 minutes I was eating a lunch that contained 6 servings of Veggies (1 cup Spaghetti Squash, 1 cup Broccoli, & 1 cup Marinara sauce); not bad for just one meal!

Lunch: Spaghetti Squash Puttanesca
1 cup Spaghetti Squash
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 cup Organic No Salt Added Marinara Sauce
1 tbsp Capers
5 Black Kalamata Olives
2-3 Shakes of Parmesan Cheese
Plain Green Tea, hot
This dish was very satisfying for this cold cold gray day here and was so easy to throw together quickly because everything was already cooked (Spaghetti Squash microwaved last night and Broccoli Steamed last night) or ready to go from a jar (Capers, Olives, Marinara Sauce & Cheese). So I just added each ingredient to the plate and microwaved it for a couple minutes and Voila! Within five minutes it was ready to eat!
