YumMazing!! Spaghetti Squash with Meatballs and Marinara

I have a wonderful dish to share with you today which I just can't wait to make myself!  It looks absolutely DeLish!  This amazing dish was inspired and created by my very first low coach coaching participant and I am so thrilled.  I truly enjoy seeing how people are inspired to eat such healthy and fulfilling meals and are enjoying learning more about what they eat!

Take a look at this beautiful plate!

YumMazing Spaghetti Squash with Meatballs and Marinara

Spaghetti Squash is in the market and in the farmers markets so don't miss out on this wonderful, naturally sweet squash.  VERY easy to work with the squash once you halve it and take out the seeds.  You bake it at 350 for about 30 - 40 minutes under the inside is softer and you then pull the squash out with a fork, you'll see it comes off looking like spaghetti strands.

If I were going to recreate this myself for 1 serving:

3/4 cup spaghetti squash - 5 carbs
Marinara from a bottle 3 Tblsp - 4 carbs
Turkey meatball from Trader Joes or Foster Farms package  - 1 carb
Top with Parmesan and basil - Viola!

Total Carbs: 10 grams / Fiber 2 grams

I would pair with a simple 1 cup spinach salad with oil and vinegar dressing to add 1 more carb and .7 more gram of fiber.

Thanks so much to my low carb coaching participants!  This has been so much fun working with you. As low carb coaching participants, I share even more of my experience on a more personal basis through 1 on 1 communications, special go to guides for carb and fiber counts related to what's in the supermarket and farmers market seasonally and most importantly a sounding board and motivational support.  I would love to be your low carb coach!  If you are interested, send me an email at thecarbometer@gmail.com and I'll tell you all about the program.

Happy Carb Counting!
