The rules are simple:
Eat only natural food that is produced locally. If not local, then from your district. Eat seasonally. Spices, tea and coffee are the only items that should have a passport...

Easy food takes less than 30 minutes to make but is nutritious as well as delicious. The longer you cook food, and the more you change it, the unhealthier it becomes.
You shouldn't buy processed food and you certainly should make it!

Spaghetti Squash

I bought spaghetti squash for the first time this year and it really is a versatile vegetable.

First, prepare it by cutting it in half and scooping out the seeds with a spoon. Rinse with water and put it cut side down on a dinner plate. Cover with kitchen paper and microwave for about 6 to 8 minutes until the point of a sharp knife goes in easily.

A great way to serve it is like a dry curry:

1. In a large based fry pan, put 100% beef mince and cook until browned. No oil is necessary.

2. Add 1 chopped onion. Cook until onion is still a bit crunchy. 
3. Add just a few raisins or sultanas, then add in the cooked spaghetti squash. 
4. After it is mixed well, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of aromatic, dry curry powder. It is better if the curry is aromatic as opposed to hot. 
5. Stir again to evenly coat everything with the curry. 

Serve with salad greens on the side. It is very nice the next day, and not at all wet so goes well in a lunch box.

Of course, you can also serve the plain squash just like pasta, with a tomato or meat/tomato sauce.
