Topic: RE: Lasagne made with Spaghetti Squash
Another idea I picked up while watching Hungry Girl is using the Spaghetti Squash (which, let's be honest is OK but doesn't taste like pasta) to "cut" the pasta.
Next time I may go 1/2 squash and 1/2 angel hair pasta and see what happens.

Topic: RE: Chia seed pudding~ two ways
5 or 6 Tbls of chia seed
How many servings for your recipe? Your looking at 400 calories and 27g of fat for the 6 tbsps.
Chia Seed (1 tbsp) is 68 calories, 4.5g fat, 0.5g carb (net), 2g protein.
If you're making 4 servings (or more), it sounds good.

Topic: RE: Lasagne made with Spaghetti Squash
Sounds real good. I cooked a asquash yesteray and just added sauce like spaghetti. Wouldn't have thought of this though. Hmmm, have some ricotta laying around the frig. Might have to add it in.
I roast my squash in the oven though. Cut in half; drizzle with olive oil and salt/pepper; place upside down and add some water to the pan to steam it. Bake at 425-450 about 45-50 minutes. You're actually baking it so that probably cooks the squash more. Thanks for the idea. Adds some protein...and flavor!

Topic: RE: Pilsbury Sugar free cake/frosting
I am addicted to this stuff! I also use applesauce instead of oil and egg beaters instead of eggs. Figure lower the fat/calories any which way to feel less guilty! HaHa They also have a SF brownie mix, but I have yet to see it in the stores near me .... :(

Topic: Lasagne made with Spaghetti Squash
Very good!!!
1 small spaghetti squash
1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1 egg
dried oregano
dried basil
salt
pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup mozarella cheese
Heat oven to 400 deg
put spaghetti squash in the microwave for 1 1/2 mins to soften it. Once it cools a bit, slice it in half...scoop out the seeds and pulp. Fill a large pot 1/2 way full of water. Place the squash flesh side down in the pot and cover...let boil for 10 mins....take off the heat, drain the water and let it cool a bit..brown 1 lb ground turkey or beef...drain...add 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce to the meat....combine ricotta, egg, seasonings, parm cheese.in a separate bowl...set aside..
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray... spread a small amount of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the pan...carefully handle the squash over a bowl...using a fork shred the inside..it will come out like spaghetti..add 1/2 cup of the sauce to the squash....put a layer of the squash in the pan..next add a layer of the meat mixture...then the ricotta mixture...layer 1/2 cup of the moz cheese....repeat the layers finishing up with the cheese...
bake for 15-20 mins just until the cheese melts.
this seems like a lot, but it's so easy and it's so yummy..my husband and 3 yr old son loved it and came back for more!

Topic: RE: Egg Rolls?
Check your local walmart, there are some in the specialty food refrigerated section, where they keep their prepared meals, cheese and pizzas, they are 5 to a pack, very large, like 140 in cals, decent on fat and sugar, and 11 grams of protein.

it's very good...my family asked for it again last night!! :)
Topic: RE: Chinese fried rice (made with quinoa)
I find it near the rice/pasta section...the texture is more of a very short grain rice...the very 1st time I ate it I think I ate it too fast and it did make me sick...However, since that time, I chew it up very good and I eat it slow and it's fine..It does puff when you cook it but it's so small in it's original form that the puffing that is does is not something that I have a problem with...I do make forms of creamed rice..sweet and savory..so far my experimenting has been great..I make a sweet creamy quinoa that is very good and I like to eat it for breakfast...very good alternative to rice.
