Using Spaghetti Squash is a great alternative to using Pasta and / or potatoes.  Especially if you are on a low carb diet, which most of us are. Its so flavorful and hearty, you don't feel like your "missing out" on all the other goodies that we can't have.

Garlicky Baked Butternut Squash

I made this last week when I had a bunch of the family over for dinner and it was a complete hit!! I've eaten butternut squash before but it always intimidated me when it came to trying to cook it. This recipe is SO easy, I can't believe it took me this long to actually get the nerve up to make it! Wish I would have done it sooner.

Hassleback Potatoes

OK, we must falter sometimes on our diet and if we do...THIS is the kind of thing that's gonna make me fall off the diet wagon, just because it's soooo pretty!!

Ingredients:

• 6 Medium Size Potatoes 
• 2 - 3 Cloves Garlic, thinly sliced 
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 
• 30 g Butter Maldon Sea Salt 
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper 

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 220˚C (425˚F). Put the potato on a chopping board, flat side down. Start from one end of the potato, cut almost all the way through, at about 3 to 4 mm intervals. Arrange the potatoes in a baking tray and insert the garlic in between the slits. Scatter some butter on top of each potato. ( you can use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray to cut calories) Then drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake the potatoes for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes turn crispy and the flesh is soft.

Creamy Mashed Cauliflower "Potatoes"

Pureed or mashed cauliflower is a great substitute for mashed potatoes. Low in carbs and high in nutrients, the "cauli-taste" is very mild. Try it even if you think you won't like. Even my husband asks for it! You can flavor it up in any way you like Adding garlic is a great addition, or Parmesan cheese, or both!
