Spaghetti Squash Breakfast Bowl

If you’ve ever tasted the deliciousness of leftover pasta, this dish is going to speak to your food-loving soul. Dead serious.

Massaman Inspired Thai Chicken 

Max and I love going to Nicky’s Thai in Pittsburgh. It’s fairly inexpensive and really delicious.  Max gets the Massaman curry.
