Meatless dinners: stuffed sweet potatoes and spaghetti squash

If you've been keeping up with the blog, it should be pretty clear by now that I'm all about the super-simple meals that take very little effort to prepare. Well, here's another one for you- and it's definitely worth trying (and it's 100% vegetarian-friendly too!). This recipe has definitely made it to my list of favorite meals. It may look as if this dish took a substantial amount of time to prepare, but don't let the photo fool you. Altogether, this stuffed sweet potato and spaghetti squash dinner was put together in under 15 minutes.

This dish was so simple to cook up it's mind-blowing, but what's even more incredible was the amazing flavor that resulted! All it took was:

- Cutting the spaghetti squash in half and microwaving each half separately for 6 minutes (this makes a VERY generous amount, but it's great for leftovers!)

• After cooling, pulling out the squash's seeds and scraping through it with a fork to remove the pasta-like strands, transferring the stringy squash into a bowl
• Once in the bowl, adding in some olive oil, pepper, and garlic and then mixing the ingredients together

- Sautéing the mushrooms and kale in a bit of olive oil over the stove until they became soft

- Piercing some holes in the sweet potato and microwaving for four minutes (I always rinse my sweet potatoes under some water first, but I'm not sure if this really makes a difference)

• After cooling, cutting through the center of the sweet potato to make room for the stuffing and then proceeding to add the kale and mushrooms in

And that's it! This meal is too easy and nutritious to not try for yourself!
