Carole, cut it in half lengthwise, scrape the seeds out. put it skin side up in a baking dish and microwave for 10 min.

either wait till it cools or use a pot holder. scrape the insides with a fork, cover with spaghetti sauce... I also like butter on mine..

I'm gonna have to see if I can find a spaghetti squash, I've been wanting to try it and have been thinking about spaghetti lately Carole let me know how you like it My DFIL used to grow them and eat them, he said they were good

Spaghetti squash is as hard as a rock to cut open when raw. I have a better method. Rinse it off, stab it with a knife all the way around, about a dozen places. You just want the knife to go in far enough to release the steam. Set it on a couple layers of paper towel in the microwave and cook 6-7 minutes, turn over and cook another 6-7 minutes. It will be very easy to cut open now, spoon out the seeds. Then take a fork and pull out the squash. We had it a couple nights back with hamburger stroganoff on top. Makes a whole meal. May want to salt it, too. They are very good!

Thank you Chriss and Lyn, I will be having it tomorrow night. Tomorrow is the big weigh in day. I have been working very hard to get the IV 3lbs off . If I turtle (stay the same) I will be so happy. We will see what happens.

Good luck everyone. We can do it.

I am struggling this week (end). Had two parties on Sat and didn't go off plan , though I did use some of my extra points for the first time. All I want is sugar sugar sugar! I keep wanting to eat every frozen dessert I have. I have failed so many times, I am afraid to feel this way!

Lyn, I have never cooked a spaghetti squash whole.. will have to try it.

Carole you will love it..and it can be exchanged for any noodle or rice.. I always buy the biggest one I can find and have leftovers...if you gain 3 pounds shouldn't it be called a III instead of a IV... that would be 4 pounds.. Ugh, I hate confusion...lol

Tina, everyone needs a do over once in a while... and don't you sometimes feel like everyone else in the house doesn't get the diet stuff? we were going to have chicken tonight but Jer had spaghetti sauce going.. ugh..

Sooz.. sorry about the parties...there was an atkins recipe for something chocolaty.. I think it was cool whip and sugar free pudding mix, then freeze it???? chocolate clouds? I am sure you can find it on line.

I am not convinced I did well today, but the scale will let me know for sure tomorrow.

I so need to move my butt.
