Spaghetti Squash

So, in my journey to eat as little sugar as possible, preferably NONE, I have been trying to eat a lot healthier in general, as well. This has always been a battle for me, because I HIGHLY dislike vegetables, and those I do like, I will only eat them smothered in ranch dressing. Bad bad bad. So, I'm reforming. It's hard. Sometimes I feel like I am yelling at the wind to change directions. 

However, I have found something that I love! Spaghetti squash! I love it with just butter, salt, and pepper, I love it with spaghetti sauce, I love it, love it, love it! I even found a recipe for Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin, and I am anxious to try it! 

What I wanted to share today was my new found trick in cooking the spaghetti squash. While perusing Pinterest one day, I saw a pin about cutting the squash into circle strips, like this (to the left), instead of in half, like so many people do. The reasoning? The strands of squash go AROUND the squash, not back and forth! After it's cooked, you are able to get longer, more finer strands out of your squash. I guess in the long run, it doesn't matter, because it will all taste the same, but I love it cooked in circles, rather than in half. I'm probably turning into a spaghetti squash snob, but I'm okay with that! 

Just a note, as I've been trying to eat healthier, the biggest change I have noticed has been my hair. It FEELS and LOOKS a lot more healthy! It's softer and shinier. I am loving it! That is incentive enough for me! My next goal will be to try to Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin and let you know how it goes!
