What's for Breakfast?

Fruits and veggies are the name of the game around here for every meal.  Breakfast is one time I like to have something a little sweet.  Here is an idea for using leftover spaghetti squash that meets the bill.

Here are the main ingredients:  onion, a Granny Smith apple, spaghetti squash, and canola oil.


Dice about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of onion.  Cut apple in half, cover one half in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for later munching.  Peel, core, and chop the remaining half.



Heat a little canola oil in a small skillet.  Add onion and cook until just starting to become translucent.



Add apple to the skillet and cook until tender-crisp.

Toss in a few golden raisins



Add approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of cooked spaghetti squash.



Drizzle with some maple syrup and sprinkle on some cinnamon.




Stir well.  Cover and cook just a few minutes until everything is hot.



I served this with a poached egg and some leftover green beans that I had seasoned with onion powder and garlic powder.  A little sweet and a little savory--a nice way to start the day.
