My 28 Day Detox

So today was a busy day with school activities and errands and I didn’t particularly feel like going through a huge ordeal for dinner.

Melissa had told me that “Spaghetti” squash was a good alternative to regular pasta.  I had never heard of it before.

I didn’t have a recipe or instructions in my meal plan, so I just googled it and found instructions on how to cook it.

The article I found listed several ways to prepare it:  boil, microwave, and bake.  I choose to back it.  I cooked two of them and just poked holes in the top, put them on a baking sheet, and baked them at 375 degrees for an hour.

Once they are done, you just cut them in half, scoop out the seeds, and then use a fork and rake the meat of the squash off the rind.  It comes out in strings like spaghetti.  Just top it with your favorite organic sauce and you’re ready to go!

As long as you can stick it in ahead of time, I think this is the easiest detox diet meal that I’ve made so far.  And it only has 80 calories per serving!  Can you believe it?

Next time, I think I’m going to cook several ahead of time and see how well they keep frozen.
