When I sliced open a raw spaghetti squash for the first
time, I thought, "How could this possibly end up like
pasta?". But when cooked, the flesh of spaghetti squash
can be pulled apart into thin strands that resemble
spaghetti. It has a pleasantly crisp texture and a mild
taste, making it a suitable substitution for almost any
dish calling for noodles. It’s also high in beta-carotene,
low in calories. This is a delicious recipe by chef Sabra
Ricci, made with roasted tomatoes. Enjoy!

High Fiber Means Lower Blood Sugar Response to Carbs
A high fiber low carb diet breakfast fuels your body
throughout the day, but most low carb diets don’t
emphasize the importance of keeping fiber in your
diet. So I’ve gathered some easy recommendations
for my Top Low Carb Diet High Fiber Breakfast Options:
Steel cut oats, raisins and 2% milk. –> Whole grain
breakfast foods are digested more slowly, which
keeps the glycemic load down. Just 2 tablespoons
of raisins are allowed.
Yogurt topped with Wheat Germ, blueberries and

Eat Dairy?
From Amy Parker,Your Guide to Vegetarian Cuisine.
Although dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt are
among the best known sources of calcium (the essential
nutrient that builds strong teeth and bones), they’re
not the only sources.
A.
Vegans and other people who don’t eat dairy products can
be sure they get enough calcium by eating green leafy
vegetables from the mustard and cabbage family. Besides
mustard greens, the list of calcium-rich greens includes
turnip greens, collards, kale and bok choy. (Note that
spinach is not a member of the mustard family and actually

You can make a low-fat clam dip! The secret ingredient
is yogurt cheese, which is made from drained yogurt and
is thicker and has more tang than regular yogurt. To
make yogurt cheese, set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl.
(Line the strainer with cheesecloth if the mesh is large.)
Spoon about three cups of low-fat plain yogurt into the
strainer. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The result is
yogurt cheese. Don’t throw away the whey in the bottom
of the bowl. You can use it in place of buttermilk when
you make bread.
Number of Servings: 6 Serving Size: 1/4 cup
1 6.5 oz. can chopped clams
1 cup yogurt cheese (see instructions above)
