Experimenting with Spaghetti Squash and -2 and Counting

Spaghetti Squash Muffin with Sour Cream and Salsa

I have just discovered a very yummy way to have something bread like without the flour!  I'm head over heels in love with how incredibly easy it was and the different things I could do with this new information astound me.   I have been trying to figure out how to use spaghetti squash as a base for things like eggs Benedict, a tortilla like wrap...I just see that there are a lot of possibilities with the squash that I just LOVE to eat.

Today, I was messing around and decided that I'd see if anyone had made spaghetti squash muffins.  I found a few recipes, but I didn't have all the ingredients.  One was too simple, I almost didn't take it seriously.  I was desperate so I thought, okay I'll try this one.

Super simple:

Take your spaghetti squash that has already been cooked and prepared.  If you don't know how to do this, please look it up, there are several ways but I prefer the oven method.

1 lb of spaghetti squash - prepared - 31 carbs / 8.8 fiber
4 eggs - 4 carbs

Whisk the eggs, pour over spaghetti squash and mix together.

Spray muffin pan, spoon in mixture into muffin pan.  Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.   AMAZING!

This made 12 muffins so 3 carbs each!!  Eat up! Tsp of Sour Cream and Salsa add a 1.5 carbs.

I had one with butter...and then I had one with sour cream and salsa and then my mind went nuts with all the ways I could serve this.  As a side with grilled chicken or steak.  As a base for my eggs Benedict, add other stuff to the mixture for a breakfast muffin or a lunch muffin with cold cuts and cheese....So pleased with myself.  You must try.

-2 and counting.  I am now 2 lbs below my target weight.  I'll be changing up my workout at the beginning of December to tone.  I want to try to make sure I don't gain weight in the process of toning so I'm actually a little excited to be starting that process with 2 lbs to spare. 

I'm also celebrating a new low carb coaching participant this week!  Yeah!  I hope to be able to help as many people as possible achieve their weight loss goals and change their lifestyle so they never have to feel like they will gain the weight again.  If you are interested in having a low carb coach, just let me know, I work virtually and in person so please don't let distance keep us apart.

Happy Carb Counting!  Gobble up some spaghetti squash as part of your Thanksgiving dinner!
