Spaghetti Squash

What the neatest thing.  This was the first time I had Spaghetti Squash.  I cut the ends off and cut it in half.  Placed one side in the microwave face up, for five minutes.  Let is set for a few minutes.  It was hot to hang on to.  I then placed it in a skillet and added Ragu.  I enjoyed this with a side of Quinoa.  

Snickerdoodle Cake Batter Blondies

Taking treats to school tomorrow for my Accounting class. Found this recipe on Girl Meets Life. Update!! Students gobbled these up. One student said these are delicious!!! Yea!!!

Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
4 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (this will be the topping), set aside. In a separate large bowl combine the cake mix and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix in the melted butter, then the beaten egg. Place batter in a greased 8×8 pan or 8-inch cake pan and top with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 20-23 minutes or just until the edges turn golden. Let cool for 30 minutes before cutting because the gooey center needs to set. The result will be a decadent, cake-batter texture.
