In an endeavor to battle back from the chronic pain of fibromyalgia, I have changed my diet to exclude dairy and gluten. This formed a difficult situation at home as I have five children. Trying to work full time and cook two dinners every night was exhausting and expensive. So, I started to create GF/DF meals that my kids could share with me...and low and behold, they LIKED them!

Avocado Pesto Spaghetti Salad
Avocado Pesto Spaghetti Salad |
Ingredients
Cooking Steps
Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Clean out seeds. Unless you have more time, then you can roast it whole. Place cut side down on cookie sheet. Roast spaghetti squash in oven for approximately 20 minutes at 350. CAREFULLY remove from oven and let stand. (Don’t forget the seeds can be roasted.)While the squash is resting, place nuts in food processor. Blend for a minute or so, until the nuts are at a rough chop. Then add the avocado, spinach, garlic, salt and pepper, squeeze of lime and a drizzle of oil. Blend until everything is well combined. Add cheese and blend for a few more seconds, just until cheese is mixed in.
Carefully pull the squash from the shell with a fork. IT WILL BE HOT! This will make spaghetti like strands. Mix in the pesto. Serve hot or cold.
"You can't even taste the spinach...which is good because I don't like spinach!!" (From a Coworker.)
