Add cooked spaghetti squash to vegetables. Pour gravy over the vegetables and allow flavors to marinate (3-5 minutes.) Serve vegetables topped with toasted sesame seeds.
Recipe for Soy Sauce Gravy
Recipe from my mother. Have no idea where she got it, but she's made it all my life.
1/8 C soy sauce
1 T cornstarch
1 1/4 C water
In a mall saucepan, combine all ingredients. Cook on low-medium, stirring frequently, until clear.
Last week was a surprising challenge due to the fact that I had a slight relapse and wasn't feeling up to playing around in the kitchen as much as I had desired. Paul had pity on me more than one night by eating bagels with carrot sticks or other veggies a couple nights and taking me out to eat one night. That being said, I have a much fancier menu planned this week just to pay him back for my slacking week and to allow my creativity to be uncanned for a while.
Last week we had fabulous potato quinoa pancakes from Coming Home to Cook; so I figured a sweet potato gratin from Moosewood Simple Suppers cookbook would go over well, too. Well, it didn't.
We dined at Infusion Tea tonight even though it wasn't as early as I had planned. Even at 5 and 6 o'clock, there was a nice stream of diners at the restaurant, which is always encouraging. Generally a full restaurant suggests a good restaurant.
