Spaghetti Squash & Kale Gratin


What is this, an actual food post? It's been ages, I know.


I've been hunkering down and doing some serious cooking in the past couple of weeks. I purchased some brussels sprouts still attached to the stalk, roasted them, tossed them with quinoa and garnished the dish with pomegranate seeds. After reading this article on sweet potatoes, I immediate went out and bought some to make this.


There are certain vegetables I've always wanted to try but haven't gotten around to (rutabaga, you are still on my list) and spaghetti squash is one of them, so I picked one up when I went apple picking several weeks back. At the farmers' market, I saw a beautiful variety of kale that I haven't tried before (lacinato or black kale, though I quite like the name dinosaur), bought a soft cheese recommended to me by a vendor and bam, a meal was born.
