Day 16...Squash those calories!

Like the header "squash those calories!" that was my husbands line! I'm on the Squash band wagon now, no more pasta.  So yummy, low in calories, lots of fibre and allot of vitamins.  This is a picture of my dinner, spaghetti squash, sweet potatoes and pork satay.  The sweet potatoes are just boiled with some parsnips as well, then mashed with a little chicken broth, dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.  You can Google 100's of recipes for spaghetti squash, so take a moment find one you like and try it out.  Note, one squash yields about 6 cups.  So this week try something new, roast some beets, try cauliflower mashed potatoes with a bit of parmigiana cheese sprinkled on top, see if the family even notices or stir fry with Spinach or Kale.  Mix it up, you can't keep eating the same thing!  let me know what you come up with!

  1. Looks good Mel. I actually made mashed cauliflower the other night, none of the kids even noticed! Only my husband said, what's up with these spuds?
