    How do you make the spaghetti squash? I have wanted to try it but don't know how.
    i just cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. put it (cut side down) in a 9x19 pan..add some water, cover with foil and bake at 375 for about 30 minutes - depending on how big it is.

    Super easy, and its something you can get in the oven while you take care of other things!

    Wash the squash first!!!! (You never know who has handled this before you!)

    Cut in half lengthwise

    Scoop out the seeds and the wet-flesh the seeds are found in.

    massage some olive oil - not alot though!!!

    Sprinkle any spice variety you want... or keep it simple: kosher salt, black pepper, granulated garlic... you dont need alot as this is going to bake right into the flesh!

    Bake in the oven on 375F for about 30-45 minutes or until fork-tender.

    Allow to cool.

    Take a fork and start stripping away the fiberous strands.... and VOILA! C'est tout fine!

    I'm using a cooking light recipe for Thai Chicken Saute....I don't like onions, so I sub red bell peppers instead. The recipe is here:

    <http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/thai-chicken-saut-10000001591044/&gt;

    I can do healthy - but it must have lots of flavor. This fits the bill!

    Last night was Spaghetti squash topped with marinara sauce. Plus a huge spinach salad with chicken breast for protein. The meal was yummy and fabulously healthy. I was actually frustrated at how low cal it was. I was below my target for the day. See my food diary for details.

    Tonight is left over baked salmon, green beans, and brown rice.

    The label on my spaghetti squash had the instructions:
    Cut in quarters, lengthwise
    Scoop out seeds
    Place face down in a caserole dish with 3/4 cp water
    Back for 40 minutes at 350*
    Boil in a pot of water for 20 minutes
    Separate squash "strings" with a fork.

    I cut out all pastas for now because they are all so high in carbs. This was delicious. I could eat it every day.

    I made spaghetti squash last night, but instead of topping it with marinara, I sauteed some onion and garlic in olive oil and added a can of fire roasted tomatoes and mixed all that with the squash...then topped that with sliced olives and feta cheese. YUM! I have a hard time meeting calorie goals when I eat the squash too...very filling but VERY low calorie!

    Not sure it was "dinner" as I eat throughout the day a few times... but I had half a baked sweet potato, half an avocado, half a granny smith apple, some cottage cheese and a small slice of pecan pie I made a couple days ago.

    Probably going to cook collard greens my Dad gave me from his garden in a few minutes...

    And then I'll probably have a small hot fudge sundae later tonight :-) I'm craving a dessert...
