Gluten and Dairy Free Fiesta Spaghetti Squash

So far this week has been good. Sandy and I have been busy experimenting in the kitchen which has been a lot of fun! He is still embracing this whole gluten and dairy free thing and it has made this transition so much easier.

We polished off the rest of donuts today so I’m definitely going to whip up another batch but try a different flavor other than cinnamon. I’ve never really been much of a cinnamon lover (unless it was Dad’s cinnamon rolls). After eating 4 apple cider baked donuts I need a break. Maybe I’ll try a carob one. The sky is the limit.

The other day I was trying to figure out what to do with my spaghetti squash that have been taking up space on my counter top. I found a recipe on Shared Appetite for Southwest Spaghetti Squash and with some minor adjustments I came up with something that fit into my dietary needs. Check out the original though. Two words – Avocado Crema! I’m jealous.

Gluten and Dairy Free Fiesta Spaghetti Squash

  • 3/4 can of Black Beans (thoroughly rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup Lima beans
  • 1 long sweet red pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 2 lbs Lean Ground Beef
  • 2 small spaghetti squash (cooked and shredded)
  • 1/4 medium white onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 Tbsp of coconut oil
  • 1 cup medium salsa
  • Cumin to taste
  • Cayenne Powder to taste
  • Paprika to taste
  • Chili Powder to taste
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • Toss both of your whole spaghetti squash in the crock pot for 2.5 hours on high. Relax, have some herbal tea and do a crossword. Remove, skin and shred when they are ready.

    In a pan heat up the coconut oil. Chop up your onions, garlic and pepper and add to the pan and let them get all sweaty. Add in your beef and spices. Let simmer and brown. Add in black beans, lima beans, corn and salsa.

    Toss beef and veggie mixture in with the spaghetti squash. Enjoy!

    Happy Wednesday!
