Sun Dried Tomato Risotto

Risotto is my carbohydrate of choice. It does take a while to make, but it smells so nice while it is cooking that I don't mind.
I don't really use a recipe anymore; I just start with some chopped onions and olive oil, then add the dry Arborio rice. Then I slowly add vegetable broth, stirring constantly. When the rice is all cooked, I add a handful of Pamigiano-Reggiano and whatever other additions I might have.


So creamy, with sun dried tomatoes and a sprinkling of oregano.

Spaghetti Squash with Cranberries and Walnuts

This is an easy dish that is healthy and can be served warm or cold. I liked it as a snack right out of the refrigerator. All you need is a spaghetti squash, walnut pieces, green onions and cranberries.

 Here are all the ingredients minus the squash.
 I microwaved the squash for 12 minutes, scraped out the "spaghetti,"mixed it with the other stuff- and that's it!
