Last night I saw the most amazing picture of food on my long-time eFriend, Angel’s Facebook page. Angel is married mother of four/five/a whole slew of children, born and raised in her beloved New Orleans and now living in Atlanta.

Hey Angel! You're so beautiful!

She is also an independent businesswoman and an all around wonderful person. And you know, only an awesome person could prepare something as awe-inspiring as this:

Freakin' Spaghetti Tacos! Amazeballs!!!

Spaghetti Tacos!!!! 

Spaghetti Tacos? Man, listen…this is probably the most heavenly carb-laden gastronomical work of art this side of forever. This brings two of my favorite foods together in a way I never would have dreamed of. I’ve never seen anything like it. Angel had mentioned earlier in the day that she was going to make Spaghetti Tacos for her family’s dinner that evening. It immediately sparked my interest, since I am such a foodie. I’m always on the look out to be more creative and inventive with the meals I cook for my own children. We tend to get stuck in a rut since we are just quirky little creatures of habit. When I saw her picture, I was absolutely enamored and inspired!  A fun meal like Spaghetti Tacos would shake things up quite a bit, huh?

Angel said she got the idea to make this when her kids told her they’d seen it on a show called “iCarly” and when I told my kids about it, they said they had seen the same episode. From the looks of it, you only have to make spaghetti how you would normally and then put it in the taco shell and top it with some mozzarella cheese (or parmesan, which is one my faves). Make a side salad and you have a meal! I can’t wait to try this. I can totally see this as a way to make spaghetti leftovers fun as well.

Dedicated Readers, do you have any unconventional food combinations that make a good meal? What do you think of these Spaghetti Tacos?
