Nacho....Squash??

So the secret is pretty much out that I adore nacho toppings on anything and everything. Put some beans and salsa and cheez sauce on it and I'll eat it. I really really wanted something Mexican but I also had a spaghetti squash to use up. That's when I remembered Happy Herbivore's fiesta spaghetti squash.

I didn't follow her recipe (or any recipe) but the idea is the same. I roasted the squash in the oven. I then topped it with some black beans, bell pepper, and corn. I dumped a bunch of salsa on top of that and finished it off with a fat free cheez sauce...sooo delicious. The only down side was that it was new salsa I wasn't used to, and while I normally enjoy Hot salsa, when this one says 'hot' it means hot. I was sweating profusely and the bf was worried about me so he brought me lots of soymilk.


Nacho Spaghetti Squash
  • 1 spaghetti squash, roasted (or cooked in microwave)
  • 1 1/2 c. black beans
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3/4 c. frozen corn kernels
  • a batch of your favourite nutritional yeast cheezy sauce
  • salsa
1. Lightly saute bell peppers until tender. Add in beans and corn kernels until heated through.

2. Make your cheezy sauce.

2. Spread spaghetti squash out on plate. Top with bean/pepper mixture. Top with cheezy sauce and salsa.

I hate when you get stuck with a big jar of salsa that should really be called hot sauce because you can only use a little bit of it. This happened to me last night. My mouth was burning!

Lobs, this looks very good.

I actually ate a piece of lettce and two slices of tomato today.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.LOL

You are such an inspiration, truly. Just when I think there is no interesting way to serve up veggies, you always come through. I am learning something new every time I come here. Just you wait. One of these days I'm going to surprise you!
