November 23, 2010We tried it for lunch yesterday and it was a hit!!! My husband, daughter and a friend of ours who came for lunch all loved it!! Thanks for shareing this. I think it may become a family favorite.- November 18, 2010I am down to that point of really needing a trip to the grocery store (in the big city). Tonight for super I was a little stumped! I have a spaghetti squash, some dry chick peas (which I already soaked and boiled in prep for hummus), lots of spices and basics but really nothing else! So I went searching for a new recipe for my squash.... and I found this! I can't wait to try it!!!
