Foodie Friday: Spaghetti Squash

In a effort to eat healthier this year I’ve switched from making regular pasta for dinner to making spaghetti squash. I really like it but it doesn’t quite satisfy me like regular pasta, I think because it is not quite as filling. Never the less the flavor is good. The good thing is that they
