Spaghetti Squash

Since I've cut grains out of my diet, I'm always looking for ways to substitute it. Behold, spaghetti squash. When cooked, it resembles noodles! You can make pasta and hashbrowns with them. It weighs in at only 31 calories a cup. I even like it plain but you can cook or bake them in many different ways and add seasonings.
