Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti (squash)
1 Spaghetti squash, cut in half, remove seeds
2 tablespoons Butter
2 teaspoons Basil
Sea Salt, to taste
Put 1/2 the butter and basil on each half, salt. Cover with tin
foil (lined with enough oiled parchment paper so squash does
not come in contact with aluminum foil) place on pan (cut side
up). Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 45 minutes.
Squash is done when you can put a fork next to the shell and
the squash pulls away easily, scoop squash out of shell gently,
and separate like spaghetti noodles. If over cooked it will not
separate like spaghetti but tastes great. Serve like spaghetti
with Italian spaghetti sauce.

Choose mushrooms that are nice little cups. Place them upside
down on a baking dish, place some butter in each one, fill each
one with some of the chopped stems, sprinkle with spices. Put

Sauteed Mushrooms

Sautéed mushrooms
Mushrooms, sliced thick
Butter, coconut oil or olive oil
Garlic, granulated
Sea salt
Melt fat in pan. Add mushrooms to hot fat & stir to coat, don’t
crowd them . Sprinkle spices over mushrooms, brown on both
sides. Serve hot or cold. You will like these even if mushrooms
have not been your favorite even if you think you don’t like
garlic. I like to finish by deglazing the pan’s residue with a
little water to make a sauce.

Wash potatoes, leave skins. Cut potatoes in desired size. Fry in

Butter,
Cook in pan with very little water, vegetables will create
enough liquid to cook. Continue to cook uncovered till liquid
is gone. Add some butter and serve.
If you must boil, boil at a high temperature, for the shortest
possible time, in the smallest possible amount of water
(minerals will be saved).
