Homemade Naan

Naan

a slightly leavened bread in a large flat leaf shape

popular in West, Central + South Asia

Ingredients: active dry yeast, sugar, water, egg, greek yogurt,  oil,  salt, flour

Kneading the dough. [Nail polish color: Commander in Chic] 

Forming the dough into a ball before letting it sit for 1 hour to rise.

Ty had fun being my food-tographer :)

My wedding and engagement rings.

Slicing the dough into 8 pieces.

Before rolling each piece out flat.

Bubbling up in the skillet. 

Voila! The final, delicious product! 

The delicious and easy naan recipe that I followed can be found HERE at Budget Bytes. I swapped out the vegetable oil for olive oil in the second batch I made and the naan turned out just as delicious!

Alfredo Spaghetti Squash

Alfredo Spaghetti Squash + Sautéed Veggies

Ingredients:

Medium Spaghetti Squash

Alfredo packet (*look for homemade Alfredo sauce recipe)

1 3/4 C Milk
1 Tbsp Butter (omit butter if desired)

1 T olive oil
1/4 yellow onion, diced
1 C mushrooms, quartered
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
course salt to taste
*could add a little freshly minced garlic for extra flavor

1. Pre-heat oven to 375.
2. Make several small slices in the skin of the squash, place whole squash on rimmed baking sheet.
3. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes.
4. While squash is "cooling" prepare Alfredo sauce according to package.
5. Cut veggies + sauté them for 5-7 minutes (we like our veggies on the crunchy side).
6. Cut the squash in half (serrated knife works well). Spoon out the seeds and throw away. Scrape the squash with a fork, creating the "spaghetti".

*I scrape the squash onto the baking sheet that I used to bake the squash so that I can put the "spaghetti" back in the oven for a couple of minutes while I do any final prep or put away extra ingredients before serving. This keeps them from getting cold and even heats them back up a little bit.

Tonight I served this with orange slices on the side for fruit. Meant to serve it with french bread rolls but I forgot and with Ty's current light appetite, they weren't missed.

Bon Appétit!
