Garlicky Spaghetti Squash Vegetarian Cooking Recipe!

November 3, 2016 by admin

Hey all!!! So I apologize for the delay. Unfortunately my site was down for a while. I finally solved the problem, and we are back!

With the holidays approaching, it is easy to overindulge. Overindulgence often happens at parties. Parties often mean  celebrating family, friends, togetherness and laughter. I dunno… overindulgence sounds pretty good to me!

It is important to treat yourself, and truly enjoy the fun things in life. That being said, it is crucial to get back on track. Making small substitutions or swap outs can help to keep you in control and prevent that overwhelming spiraling feeling.

During the winter months, beautiful varieties of squash line the aisles at the grocery store. I absolutely LOVE squash. It’s a fantastic replacement for heavy starches. While squash is certainly a starch, it has much higher water content, which makes it lower in calories! SQUASH FOR THE WIN!!

I have been really into spaghetti Squash lately. The vibrant color, and wonderful texture make it a fantastic replacement for pasta. It absorbs flavor really well, which means you don’t have to overdress it to get a fantastic taste!!!!

For this tasty dish, I decided to keep it simple. Sometimes, the simplest ingredients create a serious flavor punch! I highlighted garlic, pine nuts, and fresh veggies to made a delicious meal that is light, clean and delicious!
