Asparagus Spaghetti Squash Orzo Salad

Dear Bloggers,
      So, is there a rule that I can only blog once per day? I've got one more blog for today before I show y'all the awesome fried chicken tomorrow! I began by boiling some water with red lentils in a pan, I then added a touch of Louisiana Hot Sauce. In a separate pot I boiled the orzo with salt. In the oven I carved out my spaghetti squash to remove the seeds, added 1/2 onions, salt, pepper, and full parsley leaves. It roasted on 375 for 30 minutes. It was cooked slightly through but not to the soggy point. I then added chopped asparagus to the lentils, chopped parsley, 1 fresh onion, 4 cloves of garlic, and the forked spaghetti squash. I lastly added in the orzo and a touch more of the Louisiana Hot Sauce. The hot sauce added the most perfect flavor that packed some heat but did not take over the dish. I then added some diced green onion to the top of the dish. This meal was not only surprisingly delicious, but it always was nutritious packing at least 8 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber. So, tomorrow I'll see you again but happy cooking and stay healthy!
