Spaghetti Squash Broccoli Mac & Cheese


Ingredients

3 Tbsp chopped onion
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup milk of choice
pinch of pepper
garlic powder
crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 spaghetti squash
1 cup frozen broccoli
White beans
Smoked paprika


Procedure:
1. Preheat oven or EOC to 400°F with 1/2 inch of water. 
2. Poke holes in squash with a fork and microwave 5 minutes to soften up the squash.
3. Score all the way around the squash lengthwise with a knife, marking the line of the cut. Cut squash in half lengthwise, scrape out seeds.
4. Place cut-side down EOC and place lid on top. Once it clicks, turn to 180°F for 20 minutes, until tender enough to scrape strands. Should be easily pierced with a fork. (Not TOO cooked through since you’ll cook more later.) Time will vary depending on the size of squash.
(You can store in the fridge for a few days before making your boat, or prep to eat immediately.)
5. When cool enough and ready to eat, scrape/shred the squash.
6. In a pot over medium heat, sauté chopped onion in olive oil.
7. Add in milk of choice and flour, whisking constantly until thick.
8. Remove from heat and mix in seasonings, shredded cheese, and all ingredients until melted and integrated. Spoon mixture into each boat.
9. In empty EOC, set temperature to 400°F. Place cooked squash boats face up in EOC. Once lid clicks, reduce to 180°F for about 10 minutes. 

Serve hot & enjoy!

Pineapple-Tofu Stir Fry




Ingredients

1 8-ounce can pineapple chunks, 3 tablespoons juice reserved
5 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons brown sugar
7 ounces extra-firm, water-packed tofu, drained, rinsed and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 large bell pepper, cut into ½-by-2-inch strips
Precooked wild rice


Directions
1. Whisk the reserved 3 tablespoons pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup and sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Place tofu in a medium bowl; toss with 2 tablespoons of the sauce. Let marinate for 5 minutes. Add cornstarch to the remaining sauce and whisk until smooth.Tip: The tofu can marinate for up to 30 minutes.
