Christmas Dinner, Part One: Spaghetti Squash with Maple and Shallot

I wanted to post a few tidbits from our holiday meal this year. My cousin and I whipped up a feast for the family that was truly delicious (I used the term whipped loosely, because this did take careful planning and time). This recipe caught my eye on Pioneer Woman's website. It looked light and delicious and a great compliment to our ham and roast beast. Enjoy!
