How To Cook Spaghetti Squash
Did you know how easy spaghetti squash is too cook? No? Okay good.. because I didn’t either. To be honest, I cooked one a handful of years ago and it didn’t turn out (seriously, I think I just didn’t cook it long enough) so I basically just wrote it off all together. Fast forward many years, to just a few months back when I was at my friend’s house and I had the most delicious spaghetti squash ever and decided I needed to give this thing another go.. so let’s learn How To Cook Spaghetti Squash.
Okay, so it took me some time to finally try it again, but I am SO glad I did. Not only was this method crazy easy, but the end result is so freaking tasty. I used this particular squash to make a crazy delicious side dish that I will be sharing with you soon, but I swear I could have eaten the whole thing straight out of the oven.
I believe the keys to success here are roasting the squash cut side down and resting it once it’s done cooking. Or, maybe I just had a bad squash the first time and I missed out on years of deliciousness since then.. whatever it was I am glad I figured it out and I am happy to share this simple recipe with you! And just in time for all your fall cooking, what delicious things do you have planned this fall?

Pineapple Salsa
I wouldn't call myself a salsa snob, maybe more of a salsa connoisseur. I grew up with our Mom making us fresh homemade salsa with tomatoes and vegetables she grew in her garden, so I guess I got a little spoiled. Since I'm just not willing to go through all the pain...
