Happy Thursday, everyone! Thursdays are usually one of my favorite days of the week. But today is extra special! I’ve had a cold for about 4 days and today is finally the first day I felt better! It’s so hard to get anything done when you’re sick and what I missed more than anything is being in the kitchen! But last night I finally felt well enough to cook a good dinner.
I was eating only fruits and vegetables for a couple of days and was craving some carbs so I made some spaghetti! I still wanted to keep it as healthy as possible. By switching out just a few ingredients you can make any of your favorite dishes healthier.
