Roasted Red Pepper Spaghetti Squash with Chicken

http://www.thekitcheneer.com/recipe/roasted-red-pepper-spaghetti-squash-grilled-chicken/

Ingredients
1 large squash Spaghetti Squash
2 Chicken Breast
2 tbs olive oil
To taste Salt and Pepper
   
For the pesto
2 roasted red peppers
2 tbs of sun dried tomatoes
1/4 cup pine nuts
6 Basil Leaves
3 Garlic Cloves
1/3 cup Olive Oil
1 tbs Balsamic vinegar


Steps
Preheat oven to 350 (note: we upped it to 375 or 400 I think).

Slice squash in half lengthwise and discard seeds.  Drizzle inside of squash with 1 tbs of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place cut side face down on parchment paper and bake for 40 minutes.

While the squash bakes, brush chicken with the other tablespoon of oil, salt and pepper, and grill.  We used a crock pot chicken.

Let the squash cool and chicken rest while making the sauce.

In a food processor, add all sauce ingredients and run until smooth.  Shred squash with a fork and scrape into a mixing bowl.  Toss sauce with pasta until evenly coated.

Top with fresh basil.

Potato greens tacos

Went a bit crazy. Made some roasted tomatilo sauce a la Rick Bayless. Parboiled some potatoes. Caramelized some sliced onions then added the taters to brown up. Wilted chard in the pan. Made some chorizo on the side for someone's crazy protien requirements. And made tortillas too. Dang.

Whole30 compliant.

Turned out pretty well.

Roasted potatoes with sage and garlic

Nytimes recipe for this. I used beets too which wasn't great since the beets needed longer to cook. Parboil, then toss with flour and roast. Add garlic and sage and butter.
