dinner fail. and then a dinner success.

it sounded delicious. but it wasn't. sad day. we actually threw it out. so obviously  i would advise against this but i can't not post the recipe, especially because i took all the pictures dammit! if you can make the spaghetti squash almost undercooked and kinda crunchy (not at all mushy, it got too watery) and forget the blue cheese, it MIGHT be better. ehh, probably not. here you go. thanks a lot Pinterest.

sad huh? cause it looks good!

so that this post isn't completely pointless, i'll leave you with a super easy, fast and yummy meal. i actually just made a double portion of this today while makena ate lunch so i don't have to cook one of the nights this week. its a creamy pesto chicken pasta. 4 ingredients (plus evoo and salt and pepper). ok here it is. sorry, there's no picture because i'm honestly too lazy to stand up and walk to the fridge to take one. just picture green pasta with chicken, kinda.
