I tried Spaghetti Squash



Recommended Posts

After watching "Hungry Girl" do a whole show on Pasta Swaps, I finally went and bought Spaghetti Squash.

I steamed it in microwave for 10 minutes after cutting it in half. I used Amy's Organic creamy Tomato Soup about 3/4 can, and 4 Light LC cheese wedges and 2 tbsp of FF sour cream and made a creamy Tomato sauce. I added RF parm on top. I pulled the "spaghetti" from the skin and mixed in my sauce.

I have to say it was good! It makes a lot too. I could throw chicken on top or Turkey meatballs and have a really nice meal.

Low carb, Low fat and filling. This was sort of a combination of HG ideas and it was very good. I like the Soup as a base as it is sweet and I prefer that.

Sounds pretty good. Suggest substituting PLAIN (not flavored) low or no fat greek yogurt for the FF sour cream. Tastes almost the same and more Protein.< /p>

Good idea with the yogurt to up Protein. I even fed it to my 9 year old niece and she liked it. She asked why the Sgetti was crunchy. I told her I can't make Pasta too soft b/c of my band. LOL

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
