I think I was watching the Biggest Loser (like 3 seasons ago) when I first heard them talk about ”Spaghetti Squash”. So here is the news folks….sometimes I can be a little too LITERAL! Every so often when I was at the PCC or Whole Foods I would go to the pasta aisle and look for “Spaghetti Squash”. You know, Spaghetti made from squash. FTLOG! So just this week, 3 years- later I am standing at a local Farmer’s Market down in the Hood Canal area when right in front of me is this huge pile of yellow squashes and a sign that says “Spaghetti Squash”.
Duh. Why I am outing myself I have no idea, but long and the short of it is I brought home a bright yellow “Spaghetti Squash” and then went to my go-to website for new recipes and ta da….tons of preperations….HUGE SHOUT OUT to www.foodtv.com.

So being a novice I went with the basic, simply “Spaghetti Squash w/ Marinara” for two reasons 1) It looked easy and 2) What is not good with Marinara dumped over it?
I must admit I am a convert, and already looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The big surprise…….the family liked it too! I will admit the kids dumped parmesan cheese all over it, but hey…if you are going to “sell it” as a pasta you must let them treat it like one!
Huge hit. Another Vegan delight. And after a huge bowl, I don’t even feel that full. No spiked insulin….no deisre to be beached on the couch. All-in-all a good find!!!
