SPAGHETTI SQUASH & PORK STIR FRY



Spaghetti Squash & Pork Stir Fry image

This is a healthy alternative to LoMein and so tasty. I was skeptical when I first made this recipe because there is so little to it but it really has great flavor and is very easy to make. The dish comes together very quickly and the squash could be baked the day ahead to save time on a busy weeknight. From Sept/Oct. Eating Well magazine

STIR-FRY OPO WITH GROUND PORK



Stir-Fry Opo With Ground Pork image

Opo is an Asian squash with a flavor similar to zucchini. It looks like a long light green gourd. To prepare, I rinse, peel, seed, and chop into 1" cubes. I often stir fry this or put this in a simple soup with ground pork and onions.
