Spaghetti Squash Casserole and Chicken Avocado Soup

So first up was spaghetti squash casserole.  This isn't Eli friendly, or technically Advocare cleanse friendly due to the cheese and sour cream.  But it's MUCH healthier than cheesy potatoes and tastes similar!

Cook a spaghetti squash and use a fork to clean out the squash and put into a bowl.  In a skillet, put 2 TBSP butter and add 1 chopped yellow onion and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes and 1 tsp thyme.  Cook until slightly browned and salt and pepper to taste.  Put in the bowl with the squash then add 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.  Mix together and transfer to a baking dish. Top with another 1/4 cup cheddar cheese.  (I added some chopped up turkey smoked sausage hunks)  Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes till it's all bubbly!    Yummy!

For Eli- I just saved some plain spaghetti squash and sausage and put a little tomato sauce on it :)

Next is Chicken avocado soup.  This is great for everyone!  Pretty simple too.  Season 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook in skillet with 1 tsp olive oil, cover until cooked through.  Shred chicken with fork and set aside.  In a large pot for soup, head 2 tsp olive oil over medium heat, then add 1 cup chopped green onions and 1 tsp minced garlic to pot.  Saute about 2 minutes, then add 1 large diced tomato and saute another minute.  Add 3-14.5 oz cans of chicken broth, 1/8 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp salt. Stir well and bring to boil, then simmer on low covered for 15-20 minutes. 

In your bowl, put in some shredded chicken, cut up avocado and pour the hot broth mixture over it.  *You are supposed to put cilantro and a lime wedge but I had trouble finding good produce*

This was good for everyone, but pretty light so maybe after a long day, cold day or a day you had a big lunch.  Or a perfect lunch :)
