    Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

    I’m like Garfield. If I make a pan of lasagna I’m going to eat it all. It’s a strength and a weakness all at the same time. But, I found a healthier alternative and it’s just as good. My husband ate it and didn’t complain so that counts as a win, right? Lower carb, not overloaded with sodium, simple ingredients, and easy assembly. Do me a favor, let me know what you think, mmmkay? Ingredients: 1 large or 2 small spaghetti squash, roasted and shredded into “spaghetti”. 1 jar organic/clean pasta sauce, I prefer tomato basil or garden veggie 2 c plain Greek yogurt (you can sub ricotta cheese) 1…

Autumn has set in and that means all things squash.  I’m like Bubba Gump.  Squash salad, squash pancakes, squash cheesecake, squash chili, stuffed squash. And as I was running out the door today to pick up a spaghetti squash for tonight’s dinner, I realized I needed to do something with it- so I tossed a few chicken breasts in the crockpot, added some marinara and tomatoes, seasonings, and finished it off looking like this…

    Taco Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

    Fall is here.  So much squash.  We have been given large amounts of squash several times in the past few weeks and we’re up to our ears in squash.  Fortunately my kids eat spaghetti & meatballs with spaghetti squash (not always, but we made it work the other night).   But I needed something to do with the rest of the spaghetti squash and I thought I’d take my ground turkey, a little salsa, stuff it and bake it.  And it was everything I dreamed it would be and more!  My husband approved.  He’s not a squash eater by any means so it wasn’t easy to come up with something…
