Well it’s been quite a while since I have typed one of these posts. I actually had to go back through old posts to remember how to type this spaghetti squash fritters recipe. I definitely miss blogging, specifically reading everyone’s comments when they make a new recipe. I have a feeling that you will be seeing regular posts from me again on this site and Snapchat.

Spaghetti Squash Fritters

I made this recipe because I had already cooked a bunch of spaghetti squash and I just couldn’t stomach eating it by itself for another meal. Sometimes I wish I could eat the same thing over and over but my taste buds don’t agree with that theory. I saw the spaghetti squash sitting in the refrigerator next to some delicious bacon and raw cheddar cheese from organic pastures dairy.

So of course my next logical thought was savory pancakes for dinner which are also known as bacon spaghetti squash fritters now. I wanted to keep this recipe as simple as possible while packing in tremendous flavor. I tested this recipe while Snapchatting the whole thing and I was pumped it worked the first time. I don’t know when I will make them again, but I love the amount of flavor possibilities you can have with these. Leave me a comment below when you get adventurous and try some different flavors.
