Comfort food is best made at home for 2 amazing reasons. One, the awesome smell of homemade food running throughout your kitchen is like a warm blanket of love. Second, there are lots of leftovers to make the next dinner easy. Living in the land of take out (NYC), I love coking at home. The kitchen is my happy place from the hustle and bustle of NYC. Here are my favorite recipes.

1) Spaghetti Squash Parmesan

Everyone gets a boat-like vegetable, topped with bubbly cheese that is covering the sweet and garlicky party that is the spaghetti squash. Getting me to love any vegetable (besides bacon) is a big deal. This recipe totally tricks me into eating my veggies. TIP: Roast the whole squash to make it easy to cut: Poke wholes in squash with fork and place in oven (400 degrees) for 50 minutes). The squash will cut like butter!
