Chicken and Tomato Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Bowls

Spaghetti squash is a popular vegetable alternative to use in pasta dishes. It has a mild squash flavor, low calories and tons of potential for so many different recipes. In making these bowls, I took inspiration from this Buzzfeed Tasty video, but mixed it up a bit with my own healthy preferences. With a large spaghetti squash, you will find that one half will make for a plentiful meal especially once you add in some proteins and other toppings. I also love being able to use the spaghetti squash as its own bowl – cute and less cleanup are View this Post

How can food be turned into car seats and cup holders? That’s what a whole research department at Ford is working on by figuring out how to alter chemicals and molecules to make food products into sustainable fabrics, containers and more that can be used inside View this Post

Takeout tastiness at Una Takeaway

My favourite pizza in town has to be Una Pizza. The staple on 17^th Avenue is always packed to the brim with tons of people eager to get in and enjoy their ‘za. I know I’ve rushed to beat the crowds by having dinner at 5 o’clock just to make sure I can get into the restaurant. That’s why I’m super excited that the Una brand has expanded to another shop right next door: Una Takeaway.
