Title: Baked spaghetti squash with lots of cheese and homemade sauce
Post by: TMB on March 23, 2017, 07:33:07 PM
Y'all know I'm on a low carb diet so thinking how or what can I do different I've been tossing ideas by TentHunter (Cliff) and Tee

Cliff told me about spaghetti squash so I took it to Kimmie for her thoughts and this is what I came up with

Bake spaghetti squash with homemade sauce

Really good and I'm going to keep this one for sure :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

OH by the way, that really is broccoli on the left.  Not sure why but the last two days I have had a craving for raw broccoli   ??? ???

After adding the carb count it was high thinking around 12 to 16 for the bake and 4 for the broccoli BUT I have only had a couple of carbs all day so I'm still under the 30 carbs. 

30 carbs is my limit for each day

Bravissimo, Tommy!!!    Now that's what I call doing low-carb right!  :thumbup:

We've done a couple of dishes with zucchini pasta in the last couple weeks that I need to post (just been so busy).

Tommy:  I have been making spaghetti squash with my homemade Italian sausage sauce too.  One thing that I would recommend is to cook the squash in an air fryer.  It only takes 8 minutes and comes out perfect.  Season it with your favorite seasonings and some butter before cooking.  Good eats.  I am also trying to be on a low carb diet, and as you know, it is hard to keep under your daily limit goal as everything seems to have carbs.  I was shocked to see that real maple syrup has 54 g in 1/4 cup.  One good item that I found and used to mix with ground beef or turkey is mayo;  it has zero carbs.
