    This was so amazing and filling I just had to share it with you!  This dish has a beautiful presentation and looks difficult, but its very easy.  The quinoa and black beans add protein so even the biggest carnivores won't miss the meat 🙂

    Spaghetti squash has such a wonderful, crunchy texture. I love to add it to my fall dishes.  And how pretty does this look? Healthy, nutritious and pretty, I'm sold!
