Someone at work today was eating lasagna leftovers for lunch, which prompted my craving around 11:30 a.m.! After waiting hours, I finally gave into my desire for the cheesy goodness.
Since I didn’t have any noodles on hand and was feeling way to lazy to make homemade lasagna, I settled for a big bowl of spaghetti squash, topped with ricotta, Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, roasted broccoli and roasted squash.
I prepared my dinner by first baking the squash and forking out the “noodles.”
I added a ton of steamed broccoli on top of the squash before going crazy with the two cheeses.
I satisfied my cheesy craving and got lot o’ veggies in there, too. Win, win situation.
Dessert
I decided to do some post-dinner baking tonight and made a batch of my sugar-free coconut meringues.
These are so good and pack a little protein punch.
On that note, I think I’m gonna go grab some more… 😉

I just bought a container of ricotta this week and have been trouble deciding what I want to use it for. That looks like a great idea! Do you have any other ideas for ricotta?
I did some baking tonight too…Oreo Cream Cupcakes! 🙂
