Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash is amazing. It tastes the same as spaghetti but is better for you. We even like the texture of the squash noodles better than spaghetti noodles.

My husband was less than thrilled when I told him I was making Spaghetti Squash for dinner last week. He moaned and groaned as it was cooking and as I placed it on the dinner table. And then he took a bite and said, "That's surprisingly ridiculously delicious." We both loved this meal and can't wait to make it again.

He went on to say, "I just can't get over how amazing this is. I really thought this was going to taste like sh*!. It's so good we can eat this after Lent. We could even add meat to it!" I wonder when he'll stop doubting my cooking. :)
