Healthy Taco Bowls

Hey y’all!

 I wanted to share a recipe that I just tried for the first time last night—a delicious taco bowl! I love Mexican food and burritos and am also passionate about healthy and tasty eating. So, I tracked down a recipe for spaghetti squash taco bowls that are AMAZING. They are so unique and flavorful. I really recommend this meal for anyone like me who loves Mexican food and is trying to be healthy! 

Also, it was not too difficult to make. The whole recipe took about 45 minutes or so, because the squash needs to bake in the oven for that long. I found the recipe on https://www.wellandgood.com and will definitely be going back to check out more of their dishes!

  • I don’t have Facebook but, this was the only way I could think of to send Catherine Bach a message. I love the Dukes of Hazzard shows and I wanted to thank you for taking me back to my younger years ! You may remember Ace Parker, or as I remember him, Jerry Rushing. He owned The Sherwood bow club in Unionville NC.

    The tv show is based on his life. Before he died, he sent me his book, The real Dukes of Hazzard, and signed it for me. So, I wanted to mention if you also filmed in Marshville NC. with Jerry . I realized that in the episode,“Repo men”. His (car sales place) is now a printing shop. Again,thank you so much and wish you and your family a merry Christmas ! Sincerely, Daryl

  • Hello Catherine.
    It’s a great pleasure to greet you from a distance, I do not know her in person but I always liked to see her in the Dukes of Hazzard series, I felt a lot of nostalgia when I saw on television the episode called The Dukes of Hazzard Reunion !, because by that time I had Another great actor died, Mr. Sorrell Booke.
    Receive my warmest hug and admiration from the city of Santiago de Chile.
