Twice Baked Spaghetti Squash

I’ve been on this vegetable loving health kick for awhile now.  I’ve been “accidentally” making a lot of vegetarian dishes.  I’m not a vegetarian but meat tends to be high in fat, and therefore, high in calories and I’ve been trying to keep my calorie intake in check lately.
