Spaghetti Squash has been a favorite of mine since childhood. My mom would roast it plain in the oven and serve it along side chicken. I love this Keto Cheesy Spaghetti Squash as my main dish. It is filling and deliciously cheesy!

Growing up my parents consistently served healthy homemade dinners. As a kid I didn’t really appreciate how lucky we were to grow our own food. Although I did love working in the garden with my Dad and canning vegetables with my Mom. My mom would fill our plates with a protein, two different vegetables and potatoes or rice. When I would visit friends houses in middle school I discovered hot pockets, mini pizzas and canned ravioli. I felt like my parents had been holding out on me for years, the betrayal was real!
As a mom of two kids I now fully appreciate the work my parents put into providing healthy well balanced meals. I am trying to create the same experience for my children, although I prefer to order my groceries rather than grow them. The idea is the same, as many vegetables as possible. I serve this cheesy spaghetti squash with a side of steamed broccoli and sliced carrots. It’s a favorite of the whole family!
