Spaghetti Squash is my favorite pasta alternative. However, it takes a solid hour for it to bake in the oven, there is no such thing as quick spaghetti squash. Thanks to Trader Joe’s Cut Spaghetti Squash there is a world where you can prep Spaghetti Squash in under 10 minutes. It caught my eye when I was at TJ’s […]

Light Jalapeno Poppers with Sausage
