and now what chris and i get to eat....okay i won't lie, this was actually really really good! i had never heard of spaghetti squash until i read about it on thepioneerwoman's website. i know i know, i'm obsessed with her cooking, so sue me. this was actually a recipe submitted by one of her other "followers" and i am so glad i stumbled upon it! it is clearly a vegetable, so it's much better for you than traditional spaghetti. and it's SO EASY! you bake the whole spaghetti squash in your oven at 375, for 45 minutes-1 hour and when it comes out, cut it half lengthwise, scoop out all the seeds then use 2 forks to pull all the "spaghetti" out. i added a little parmesan cheese, and a little pepper. they say you can add oil/butter etc but i wanted to keep it as lean as possible. it was amazing! 1 cup of this cooked has 0 fat grams, 42 calories, 10 carbs and 1 gram of protein. it's a great way to sneak in some veggies and feel like you're eating something bad for you :)

this was a fantastic dinner and it was healthy too!
I saw this on her site too, but the thought of it kinda scared me. I need to make it!
