The WE2's Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 We bought a couple of spaghetti squash the last time we were at the Mennonite store. Ate one just like spaghetti, but had this one (already cooked) in the frig so we had ourselves a mighty tasty "spaghetti squash omelet" :-) Put the strings in my skillet, diced up some ham and onions and browned it a bit. then added my eggs (4) and when it was all done, topped it off with shredded cheddar cheese. Yummy, and very low carb! You can microwave your squash (be sure to poke holes in it!) so it doesn't take a long time to get it ready. Quote Link to comment
Suncat Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 My favorite was always just the shredded squash served as a side with salt and pepper and butter. Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yep, spaghetti squash is recommended for diabetic friendly pasta replacement. Low glycemic stuff, lots of fiber and vitamins. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 We went for a motorcycle ride today for several hours and was very surprised that we didn't get hungry at lunch time, so only ate a granola bar that we had tucked in one of our saddle bags, and then ate supper about 6pm.

snapshotmiki Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 That is something I grew this year and now have plenty for the winter. I have made "potato" pancakes and hash browns as well as served with garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese. I'm going to try cashew chicken over the "noodles" next! Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Speghetti squash is one of our favorites! Last year we hosted a gathering of friends and served up speghetti squash with sides of chicken tenders, seasoned green beans and speghetti sauce, parmesan, garlic & onion powders for them to use as they wished. NONE of them had ever eaten speghetti squash! LOL Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I rarely post in Kitchen threads cuz I rarely use recipes and always just throw together anything that 'needs using'. So....I never have exactly the same thing twice. But last night's hot dish turned out pretty good. Perhaps enough to repeat on purpose. Leftover spaghetti squash ring sausage sliced in 'coins'...then quartered. chopped onion shreds of greens [mine was kale home grown carrot 'coins' small chunks of mozzarella .................Hmmm..... ....can't remember anything else Squirted in some Italian dressing and mixed. Heat in oven til hot. {yes I know I'm mixing nations here....the sausage seasoning is probably more Polish and then the Italian...but it works....YMMV } A caution from DH....the squash stayed clumped a bit and it retained the heat more than other ingredients...whooooo! MtRider that squash goes with so many things and, as Sass mentioned, is low carb / diabetic-acceptable Edited October 15, 2015 by Mt_Rider Quote Link to comment
