It is that time of year, the after Christmas, after Birthday time to lose a few lbs before summer takes hold. This year the goal is 10lbs by the end of April and my trip to Croatia. Sadly this is an annual thing for me, but if I didn't do it I would be the size of a house so back on the wagon again.
Though I want to lower the calories in my food, I do not want to eat "diet" food or artificially lightened foods like low fat cheese or pre made low cal dinners. The challenge is come up with tasty healthy food, but at the end of the day portion control is really the biggest thing for me.
My husband loves pasta, and as I do not really care for it that much, it always seems like a waste of calories. But I saw this small spaghetti squash the other day and decided that in fact this was answer to all my problems, (well a couple anyway) I could cook pasta for my husband and then I would have the spaghetti squash which he does not really care for, and everyone is happy.
I cut the squash in half, scooped out the seeds, placed it in a microwaveable dish and filled the cavity with water.
