I am a bad, bad mom. Because this deceitfully healthy recipe is also really yummy. How dare I do that to the kids? Give them something so healthy and so delicious in one recipe.

Meh. What they don’t know won’t hurt them. Make sure to season the spaghetti squash well and taste until you’re satisfied with the result. If you want to be less healthy, but you have to do this fast, just throw some pre-made spaghetti or marinara sauce on it and call it a day. You got to do what you got to do to feed the hungry natives.

OK, you want some deliciousness that is fast, comforting and will feed an army? *Cue the one-skillet lasagne* Ain’t no one got time for boiling noodles and layering the traditional lasagne.

As I write this, I’m feeling a twinge of guilt because I actually learned how to make the real thing in Italy. Complete with homemade noodles. But I’ll say it again AIN’T NO ONE GOT TIME FOR THAT. Especially with hungry little birdies waiting for their dinner. This Lin approved recipe can be made “healthy-ish” by using turkey sausage. Pile on the fresh basil from our garden and you have a colorful feast for your eyes.

People ask me all the time “What is the secret to how moist this banana bread is?” It’s the pineapple. The canned crushed pineapple gives this bread it’s secret without even tasting like pineapple.
