Veggie Lovers Spaghetti Squash Bake!



If you liked my Spaghetti Squash Bake, then you will definitely love this one. This recipe is almost the same as the spaghetti squash bake except it is low fat and stuffed with delicious green peppers and onion.

Follow the same recipe but with THESE CHANGES;


this time I used a SMALLER SQUASH (I was only cooking for me plus some leftovers for lunch =-)

Substitute MARGARINE for the butter


Only use a small scoop of sour cream and 1 EGG

Add tobasco for some more flavour

Extra red pepper flakes and thyme!

Use a whole small onion (because i love onion, plus its good for the heart)



dice up some GREEN PEPPERS AND MUSHROOM and toss em in the mix :)



I also used a little less cheese this time, but only a little less... because cheese is my life.


ENJOY and let me know what you think ;)

Spaghetti Squash Bake



Its Monday, time for another healthy Monday night dinner recipe :) Today I'm making a low carb recipe. Spaghetti Squash bake. I like this recipe because I already had all the ingredients (except for the squash) so I didn't have to go searching for some weird health food item. 

You'll need:

1 spaghetti squash
2 TBPS margarine
1 TSP Fresh thyme (I used dried, but everythings better fresh)
1 Small yellow onion
1/4 TSP Red pepper flakes (I like HOT AND SPICY so I put more)
1/2 Cup light sour cream
3/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese

1. Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds and place it face down on a dish filled with 1/4 Inch of water. Put it in the microwave for 10 - 12 minutes. You can also bake it for 45 mins if you have the time but microwaving works just fine.

2. In a skillet on medium heat add the onion, margarine, thyme, red pepper flakes. Stir occasionally until onion is browned slightly in color.

3. Scrape the insides of the squash into a large bowl. Add the sour cream, cheese and onion mixture. Mix until well combined.

4. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and flatten out so its evenly spread. Springle some more cheddar cheese on top.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy :)
