Easy Veggie Supper

Tonight for dinner I made a quick chili-ish thing. I used canned black beans that I cooked for about 10 minutes while a spaghetti squash finished baking. Once they were cooked, I mashed the beans up a bit and added a good-sized glug of homemade salsa (probably 1/3 of a cup or so, but I couldn't be sure), some salt and pepper, and just shy of half of the spaghetti squash. I topped it with cheddar jack cheese. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it was surprisingly good.

So was this just something you thought up, or did you hear about it somewhere??

Just threw it together based on what I had that needed using.

Here's a story you'll like that proves I'm no super-homemaker: I forgot that this jar was salsa and not just pureed tomato until after I'd opened it and nearly poured it into a shrimp pasta dish I was making. Only when I stopped to stir it did I realize it had peppers and whatnot. Whoops! That crisis narrowly averted (using my emergency jar of storebought tomato sauce), I stuck the salsa in the fridge and just waited until inspiration struck as to how to use it.
