Spaghetti Squash with Tangy Tomato Sauce – ESSENTIALLY ZERO CALORIES

- cut a spaghetti squash in half lenghtwise and clean out seeds
- pour a 6oz can of plain spaghetti sauce in each spaghetti squash
- sprinkle basil, garlic, salt and pepper on top
- place in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes until sauce is bubbling and skin separates from spaghetti sauce
- remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes

It is very filling with essentially no calories.
It pairs well with a boneless/skinless chicken breast and sauteed asparagus.

i always blend 6oz of nonfat lactaid milk, because its creamier then regular, with a handfull of ice, a cut up banana or a 1/2 cup of strawberries with 2 tbls of low fat chocolate syrup, its delicious and much healthier then a regular shake.

Beef kabobs…marinate beef cubes in italian dressing. In another bag marinate whatever vegetables you like in italian dressing. Thread beef and vegetables on skewers and grill. So yummy!

I subsitute yogurt for sour cream in my recipe for salad dressings. I use ground turkey in my meatballs but they just don’t taste as good. I found that adding italian seasoning to the mix helps to improve the taste. I would like to win this book because I am looking for suggestions to lower the fat in the food I prepare for my family.

I add V8 to soups (like veg soup) and chili, it packs tons of vitamins into the broth. I can’t stand V8 to drink so this is a way to pack in extra vegetables and vitamins

When baking I substitute an equal amount of applesauce for most of the butter or oil and I also substitute 1 Tbsp soy flour plus 1 tsp water for an egg.

I use a lot of ground turkey instead of beef in all of my recipes. And turkey is cheaper than beef.
