It is finally feeling like fall in Arizona. A gloomy weekend full of clouds and sprinkles, left me feeling lazy and wanting to curl up on the couch and Netflix binge. While I did dive deep into the show The Crown, I also cooked up some new tasty recipes, cleaned my apartment and got my Thanksgiving shopping done. All in all, it turned out to be very productive despite the weather. This Paleo Sausage and Fennel Spaghetti Squash Pasta turned out better than I could have hoped! I love fennel, but I had never actually cooked with the ingredient! I actually had to look up a YouTube video on how to chop it up. Here is the video if any of you are wondering. This Paleo Sausage and Fennel Spaghetti Squash Pasta combines simple ingredients for an easy and delicious healthy fall dinner!
Ok back to The Crown. Who is watching? I am fascinated about the early life of Queen Elizabeth II. It blows my mind that she has been queen since she was 25, and she is now 90! Sixty-five years! While the monarchy’s power has lessen over those 65 years, it is still quite outstanding that one woman has reigned for so long. Also she is so adorable now in her bright outfits and hats. I keep fact checking parts in the show because I can’t help myself. There was so much drama and scandal in the 1950s! I’m about 7 episodes in and not wanting it to end. I will probably re-watch the show once I finished. Does anyone else do this? Binge on a show then rematch it to catch any pieces that you missed?! Maybe I am just weird. Anyways, I’m off to watch more of The Crown and finish prepping my Thanksgiving timeline!
