Spaghetti Squash Mushroom Pie

September 16, 2016 by Stephanie 7 Comments

Spaghetti Squash Mushroom Pie is packed with so much flavor that you won’t even notice it’s low carb friendly, Vegetarian and Gluten Free.

Okay, so sometimes you just have to go for it. You’re thinking…or at least I am..that Spaghetti Squash can really become one of your new favorites.

Spaghetti Squash Mushroom Pie is a healthy, tasty pie that you can feel good about eating seconds. Vegetarian and Gluten Free.

I mean after all I’ve kind of overloaded you with the cauliflower thing lately. So I decided lets take a short break from that and come back to it later. And I do mean short. Can’t totally stray away from all my cauliflower madness.

This time of year, I start thinking of all the Fallish kind of stuff. Pies, Squash, Baking, preparing for the holidays in general.

And what better to have at any holiday gathering than a Pie…Yes, I am talking about Spaghetti Squash Mushroom Pie.

But really Holidays say special to me. “SPECIAL”, Like you may want to pump it up a notch. Pull out all your best recipes and showcase them to your Family and Friends.

It might be the one time of year that you see Auntie or Grandma. You’re asked to bring the Pie and uhmm of course you should show up with this Spaghetti Squash Mushroom Pie.

Wont’ Grandma be proud..At least I hope so. I didn’t really get to spend a lot of time with my Grandparents growing up since we never really lived close to them.

But I do have fond memories of our family vacations being packed up in the ole station wagon and taking that trip to visit them. That forever long car ride and I mean couple day car ride. Where you pack the picnic basket and stop at the roadside picnic areas.

Do families even do that any more? And connecting with family and friends never involved the internet. Ohhh noo, am I really sounding like that old person I swore I’d never become?

So test this one out before being asked to bring the pie and mix things up a little bit at the next Family gathering 🙂

And all the reasons you should include this at your holiday gathering:

  • Make Grandma and Auntie proud 🙂
  • Healthy, low carb pie so you can have two pieces
  • Switch up family gatherings with something different

    Lately I’ve been obsessed with pies, shepherd’s pie, seafood pie, chicken pie… I really want to try this vegetarian pie though, I love squash and mushrooms and this sounds amazing with the cheese!
