    This Chorizo Chicken Spaghetti Squash is a family favourite. Zesty salsa and spicy chicken sausage add lots of flavour to nutritious spaghetti squash.
    Chorizo Chicken Spaghetti Squash |www.flavourandsavour.com A quick and easy meal, topped with melted cheesy goodness.

    Don't you just love getting a good bargain? It makes my day.

    And squash has to be the best bargain in the produce section of any market. This low carb, low-calorie squash is packed full of small amounts of almost every essential vitamin and mineral, and it's a good source of fiber, as well.

    My garden stores of squash are all gone, so I have to resort to buying it now. While shopping at the local market yesterday, I could hardly contain myself when I spotted . . .  wait for it . . .

    MINI spaghetti squash! How cute are those? Little hold-in-the-palm-of-your-hand spaghetti squash!

    I came up with this super easy filling to stuff these little shells to make this Chorizo Chicken Spaghetti Squash dinner. Just brown some onion and garlic with the sausage, mix with salsa, toss with the spaghetti squash strands, stuff back in the shells and eat it topped with warm, melted ooey-gooey cheese.
