I signed up for these free weekly/daily recipes from Real Simple. I decided it would be fun to try at least one new recipe per week. This week I made a scrumptious spaghetti dish with a dressing made from avocado, Greek yogurt, honey, toasted almonds and sliced cherry tomatoes. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! The dish was way out of my comfort zone, as I had never had anything like this before. I prepared the dish. Hubby, of course, turned up his nose at anything new. I told him to just taste it. Three bowls later we both agreed, it was the best thing we have eaten in a long, long time.

Tonight, I made the spaghetti dish (as the main course) and a side dish of BBQed spare ribs (with a dollop of BBQ sauce). Best meal we have ever eaten in a very long time. Enjoy!


Sounds yummy. Is that a cold pasta dish or warm? I agree it is a wonderful time to try some new things in the kitchen.

It was hot pasta but rinsed first under cold water. I think you can eat it either way. We have leftovers. Looks like a cold lunch tomorrow.
Thanks for your comment.

I wondered where you went, I’ve missed hearing from you. I found you again, you’re here on a new blog! Congrats!! Glad to see you’re still writing and enjoying the retired life. When I get a chance, I’ll read more of your posts. The pasta dish looks delicious, back in the day, I would’ve chowed that down in a hurry! I’ll pass on it, though – doesn’t fit with our new low-carb, healthy fat eating. Don’t knock that until ya try that either, it has helped us both get to our desired weights, and maintain them, and off the meds, for Mr., I do remember you did try Keto at one point, it’s hard if you’re not able to stick to it. But for those who can or are able to it correctly, it’s truly life-changing healthy. Take care, stay well, and I hope to hear from you again soon! 😉
