LOVE IT! Once again a food processor will make this super easy, if you don’t have one yet, just get it, I promise you will love it. What I love about this recipe is that #1- it is grain free, #2 it’s crunchy-I love crunchy, #3 simple and fast. You can use this on top of any kind of fruit you like. We normally use what ever fruit is in season at the time. It works with pretty much anything.

Place squash cut side down in a large pyrex dish, bake at 350 for about an hour or until soft and comes out spaghetti like […]
