   I wish I liked egg plant (or onions!) because it looks so good! I’ll have to check out the black bean dip recipe – I love Ellie Krieger!

   Hope you are having a great weekend!

   Where do I find spaghetti squash at? Is it comparable to spaghetti? Looks yummy!
   I was lead to your site from KissMyBroccoli. She said you had a grape nut pudding recipe somewhere, help me find it!
