Squash Pizza
When I first found the idea for making the "pizza" with pattypan squash, I was thrilled. I love pizza and was beside myself with the idea of being able to eat a really healthy, low calorie one. Hubby and I made them for lunch today...the first time I've ever used the broiler feature on my oven. The recipe had said to put the shelf on the highest level which I have now realized is not accurate...they started to burn and also by the end had set off my smoke alarm. A fact which cracked my 11 year old up. But not to be swayed, we scraped the burnt part off the top to give them a try. My hubby took a bite and looked as if he wanted to gag...literally. Have to give him credit, he did end up eating two of them before throwing in the towel and making himself something else. He said its a recipe he'd never ask me to make. I thought they tasted okay, while certainly not fantastic. I ended up eating all 3 of my small ones and a couple of bites of a fourth one. Even with that, the calories I consumed are extremely low. Anyway, I ate them and thought okay, I probably won't ever do it again but at least I know I don't really care for them now. However, now about 30 minutes later, I KNOW that I won't make them again. My stomach is rebelling and just feels yucky! Not to the point of being sick to my stomach but just feel miserable. I guess its just the mixture of all the stuff, but whatever it was, it won't happen again. lol Tonight I'll be making a recipe hubby and I have tried to re-create from a delicious lunch we had last weekend in Nashville...seafood stuffed baked potatoes. They are amazing! Shrimp, crab meat, mushrooms, and sauce mixture put over baked potatoes. Yum! This will definitely make up for the crash & burn of lunch. After enjoying that meal, the family will be going on our weekly 5 mile walk together which I am looking forward to doing. Also bought some tennis balls when I went shopping earlier and we're going to start teaching the girls to play tennis. I'm sure that will be interesting! I hope each of you have weekend and I continue to pray for the safety of the people in Texas!
