Creative Cookery with Carolyn -- Spaghetti Squash

[paragraphs]

I love it when people post what they are cooking/eating on their lj's. I love food, and over the last months have learned to control it rather than it control me. The best part of eating the way I do now is that it has taught me to have fun and experiment, often with limited ingredients (despite going to the store constantly).

Today's creation? Spaghetti Squash Beef Bake. Spaghetti squash, some hamburger w/onion, crushed tomatoes, muenster cheese (because that is what I had cheese-wise)...everything was pre-cooked except the cheese, then tossed into a 425 degree oven in my fav baking dish that I found recently under my son's couch in the loft. Reunion was sweet!

It was really really good. The pics are slightly blurry, but it was really, really good. Need to break out my camera next time! If you've always wondered about spaghetti squash, which looks like a big pale yellow dinosaur egg (and great fun to split open) you should try it. It is packed full of stringy goodness.

Carbs are my downfall, I have to say. Bread, pasta, etc. Hard for me to resist. I shouldn't drink soda, either, but I'm kind of addicted to Diet Coke. Bad, I know. Did you devise this diet yourself or is it something published? Just curious. You lost a lot of weight, right? You kind of have to be hard core to do that, I think. I'd like to lose 10 lbs, but I need to decide to do it. I tend to focus more on exercise because that helps my mood, as my default mood is vaguely depressed.

"goopy food" - haha, not sure what that is, but it's a funny description.
