Growing up, I typically ate balanced meals that included some type of protein, vegetables, and carb. Switching to low carb really helped my body feel a lot better, but mentally, I missed the carbs on my plate. I never really felt satisfied. Cauliflower rice is one recipe that helped solve this problem and spaghetti squash is another fabulous low carb replacement to trick your mind into thinking you’re eating starchy, high carb foods, when in fact, you’re not.
Spaghetti squash can be a very dangerous food. Not dangerous by consumption, but rather dangerous because it sometimes seems like in order to cut through the spaghetti squash and open it up, you might loose a finger or hand. I’ve come close!
However, after researching and sharing tips with other spaghetti squash eaters, who figured out the secrets to eating this delicious food without losing parts of their body, I think I’ve mastered the technique to cooking this vegetable both quickly and safely. Enjoy!
