Time to let go...

If you are unhappy, that simply means that you have learned tricks for being unhappy, and nothing else. The world is absolutely neutral. It has thorns, it has roses, it has nights, it has days... Now it depends on you as to what to choose. If you have decided to choose only the wrong, you will live in a wrong kind of world, because you will live in your own chosen world. Once you have learned this happy frame of mind, this positive vision of life, you will be surprised that the whole existence starts functioning in a totally different way. It starts mothering you. It starts helping you in every possible way, it becomes a great friend... translation from Osho

Spaghetti Squash With Almonds

3-pound spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

tablespoons 
olive oil
1/4 
cup 
sliced almonds
tablespoons 
fresh lime juice
tablespoon 
honey
1/2 
teaspoon 
ground chili powder
sea salt and black pepper
scallions, thinly sliced

Heat oven to 400° F. Place the squash on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the cut sides with 1 tablespoon of the oil, and turn cut-side down. Roast until tender, 40 to 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.

In a medium bowl, stir together the lime juice, honey, chili powder, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

With a fork, gently scrape the strands of squash flesh into the bowl and toss with the lime juice mixture. Sprinkle with the almonds and scallions.

Enjoy!
