Weekend Roundup

Why do the weekends have to go so darn fast?  We had a busy weekend with the kickball/little league parade and then the first kickball game yesterday.  The kids had a blast playing on the playground afterwards, and didn't want to leave.  Which meant I didn't get home in time to cook the chicken I was planning on, so we ordered out.  First meal in seven days that any of us ate out.  I was hoping to brag about not eating any meals out last week, but no such luck.  Sigh.  Maybe this week....

Anyway, on Friday night I made steaks with sweet potatoes and green beans.  I usually cook in the mornings but Fridays are hectic, especially last Friday since Charlie had a playdate which was EXHAUSTING.  Man, two four year old boys have too much energy together.  Anyway, I didn't cook until Shao got home and I'm glad I didn't since I totally smoked up the house and the fire alarms started blaring.  It was worth it, though.  Steaks at home are always good, even if expensive.

Saturday we had spaghetti squash with meat sauce, gray squash and string beans.  We love spaghetti squash and it allows us to stick to our paleo lifestyle.  Note the "our."  I'm torturing Shao with Paleo the past week in hopes of him comfortably fitting into his work pants again.  With three kids and a wife with a bum foot, who has time to go clothes shopping?

Any good spaghetti squash recipes out there to share?
