I just discovered spaghetti squash! They are pale to bright yellow and you can find them in the produce section of almost any grocery store. They run about 4-5 pounds. Bring it home, stick it in a baking dish and bake it at 375 for 1 hour. Let it cool down about 15 minutes. Then cut it long ways. Scoop out the seeds (will look like the inside of a pumpkin) and then, with your fork, scrape along the inside to get the "meat" out. It'll come right out looking like spaghetti strings.
I will mix it up with spaghetti sauce or pesto. Or you can add a little olive oil and/or butter with parsley. And it really fills you up! Just buy one though as you'll be amazed how much "spaghetti" you get.
You'll find a lot of great recipes on the internet. I have had it 3 different ways all week and haven't grown bored yet.
You know what I have done? I have made a list of our favorite vegetables and fruit. I have also been meal planning religiously for the past 11 years. I have written an article about meal planning and created a really easy to use meal plan. I don't follow the plan in order - we eat what suits us from it on different days. I also like having my plan with me when I shop to match my groceries up with my meals. Having a plan also helps to be able to review the week in advance so that you don't have an overload of carbs, fat etc.

Enjoy!
Even easier? Poke a few holes in it (about 20 times with a fork) and microwave for 10 minutes or until soft. let cool a bit then cut in half, scoop out the seeds and fork to enjoy!
(I always cut it first forgetting this method...so cut in half -which is soooo hard, scoop seeds, put face down in about 1/4 cup of water in a pyrex or the like and cover with saran wrap).
