Sausage and Kale Soup

I'm not gonna lie....when I was putting this soup together, I was like....ugh.....this dinner is gonna suck. Then I took my first bite, and holy moley.....this stuff was good!  It tasted like those 15 bean soup packs you do in the crockpot with the ham hock.  So, if ever you were to NOT judge a book by it's cover...this would be it.  Give this a try, and I promise you will not be sorry.

1-14 ounce package smoked turkey sausage, cubed (4 reds)
1 leek(whites and light green parts only), chopped and washed (3 greens)
3 cups washed and chopped kale (3 greens)
1-32 ounce container of unsalted chicken broth
1-14.5 ounce can no salt added petite diced tomatoes (2 purple or 2 green)
1-15 ounce can great white northern beans, drained and rinsed (3 yellows)
1 teaspoon EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheese (4 blues)

Directions:  In a large pot, over medium-high heat, cook EVOO and sausage until heated.  Stir this constantly, because with the low fat content, it will burn and stick quickly.  So keep it moving.  Add leeks, kale, broth, tomatoes, salt and pepper.  Heat to a boil, then cover and simmer on low.  Meanwhile, take the rinsed beans and puree them in a blender/processor....OR mash with a potato masher.  Add pureed beans to the soup.  Continue to simmer for 30 minutes.  Before serving, add cheese and stir until mixed.  Enjoy!!!

Yield:  4 VERY LARGE servings

Baked Spaghetti Squash

Do you love pasta, but hate the idea of all those carbs?  What if I told you, you could enjoy pasta, but without eating any pasta?  Crazy, right.....but possible!  Let me introduce you to my little friend, spaghetti squash.  Obviously given its name because after you cook it and use a fork to shred it, it falls apart into spaghetti strands.  This dish packs all the flavor of baked spaghetti, but without all the added carbs and guilt.  And if you have never tried spaghetti squash before....oh man, are you and your tastebuds missing out.

1 spaghetti squash
1 pound lean ground meat
1/2 can of Cento San Marzano peeled tomatoes pureed OR 1-15 ounce can no salt added tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon Sea or Himalayan Salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon parsley
3/4 cup park skim Ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Directions:  Preheat oven to 375.  Poke several holes in the spaghetti squash.  Place on foil in the oven and bake for one hour.  Let it set and cool for 15 minutes.  Cut open long ways, and remove seeds.  Remove all spaghetti squash strands with a fork and set aside for when you need it. **This can be done in advance.  I like to do this at the beginning of the week, and pull it out of the fridge when I am ready to use it.**  In a large pot, brown meat over high heat until fully cooked.  Add pureed tomatoes or tomato sauce, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil salt and pepper, and parsley.  Remove from heat.  Stir in ricotta.  Stir in spaghetti squash.  Preheat oven to 375.  Lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish.  Pour spaghetti mixture into the pan.  Top with mozzarella cheese, then parmesan cheese.  Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is lightly golden and sides are bubbling.  Let it set and cool for at least 10 minutes.  Enjoy!!!
