It is fall and I’m making one other recipe utilizing winter squash- particularly spaghetti squash.
The trio of components that I take advantage of on this recipe produces a scrumptious, warming, low calorie and low fats dinner that’s naturally gluten-free and vegan.
I combine the three components collectively, reheat, after which eat whereas it is piping sizzling.
It is excellent in case you are making an attempt to chop again on excessive calorie consuming earlier than the beginning of the vacation season once we eat heavier meals that are likely to pack on somewhat further weight.
