Clean Eating Recipe: Baked Enchilada Spaghetti Squash

Hi there, Alyssa here! It’s that time of the month for a recipe from Clean Eating with Lyss! I believe that clean eating should be fun, inventive, and yummy! I always strive to come up with recipes that are easy to whip up even for the most beginner cook, use smarter ingredients, and never lack great taste. I will always include the macro breakdown of each recipe so that you can easily track, adjust, and add these meals into your own dietary totals while striving to meet your nutrition goals!

For those that don’t know me, I’m a full time teacher, wife, and an all the time doodle mom! The first thing my husband, Chris, would tell you is that I am obsessed with our two Aussiedoodles, Sully and Olsen. They are our world! If we’re not hitting the trails with our pups, you can find us in the gym or with our families. We are a diehard Texas A&M family and Aggie football fanatics! We joined Hidden Gym almost two years ago and will be forever grateful for the impact Tawna and Greg have had in our lives! We’ve never been a part of a gym that so clearly strives for perfection in all they do and helps to make everyone feel like family.
