We are winding down on these wintry months, thankfully! Another giant snowstorm last week, almost didn’t make our flight out! Alexa and I went to go see my Mom, she moved to NC in July. Now the weather down there, awesome! 55 degrees and sunny, sounds perfect for March. We explored the American Tobacco District and ate at some incredible restaurants. I feel the best way to explore a new city is through their food. We had some of the best barbecue I have ever had. I am now a fan of Carolina style barbecue, vinegar all the way.
It was a whirlwind trip, only 2 days. Traveling is very exhausting, especially in such a short time frame. After working all day Monday, cooking was the last thing I wanted to do. Even though I thoroughly enjoy it, exhaustion had completely set in. I thought to myself, ‘what can I easily make with minimal effort?’ Roasted spaghetti squash. It requires minimal steps to make and paired with sauce (that you have smartly frozen for occasions like this) it was perfect. 45 minutes later, enjoying a healthy, hearty meal on the couch with a glass of red wine.
Enjoy! xo
