Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boat

Happy New Year, Guys!!! Today marks Page 4 of 365. I’m so thankful and grateful to God for 2017 – The Year of Fabulous Outpourings from Heaven!!! Hallelujah! I don’t know about you but I have claimed this to be my year to receive exactly what God has in store for me. I’m thanking Him for my very own personal rain of Blessing. Thank You that it rains on me, Father God!! 2017 has been declared as the year to see many miracles and manifestations because of the outpouring from Heaven! I’m certainly ready for my miracle. How about you?

It’s National Spaghetti Day and I wanted to quickly share with you this yummy recipe for Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash. Oh my yum!!! I know that many want to try to incorporate some healthier dishes in the New Year and this is a great way to start.  The entire family enjoyed this tasty yet healthy dish and everyone thought it was super filling to boot!! We could hardly finish our own individual half servings!! The enchilada flavor was just perfect for the Tex-Mex Foodie Lover in me and when I can satisfy hubby with a healthier dish, I am on cloud 9!!!

Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats

Are you a spaghetti squash fan? It’s such a delicious substitute for pasta if you’re looking to cut back on carbs. It’s loaded with potassium, Vitamin A and beta carotene so it’s a great, healthier choice. I also decided to go for ground turkey instead of ground beef and I packed it with black beans, corn, diced chiles and cheese. Yum!! I would have added diced jalapenos but I didn’t want to singe Momma’s little taste buds with the added HEAT!! But for those Spice Lovers out there, feel free to add the HEAT!! Yum!! I hope you’ll try this Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash! It’s certainly a part of our weekly rotation. Happy National Spaghetti Day! Say Grace and enjoy!!
