Who says you can't have spaghetti??

Before starting the LC/Keto lifestyle I LOVED pasta.  And quite frequently spaghetti was my go-to meal because it was fast and simple.  I was a little sad that I could no longer enjoy the hearty, carb filled dish (or any other pasta dish).  But here is where determination comes into play.  As I stated before, I was sure I could continue eating things I loved with some modifications. I was perusing one of the FB groups I'm in for Low Carb/Keto and someone had posted a picture of their dinner.  Spaghetti with sauce and meatballs.  Upon further investigation I saw in the comments she used Spaghetti Squash!  I won't lie.... I would have never tried it under any other circumstances.  But one of the fun things of a new lifestyle is pushing yourself to try new things.  So I set out to find this squash and learn how to make it.

So I, like many others, was concerned how I would get through not being able to have anything sweet since sugar has no place in the Low Carb/Keto world.  Well thankfully I am no quitter.  I will find my way around ANYTHING that stand in my way of what I want.  And what I wanted was to be able to have something sweet after dinner. Remember those links I posted in my first blog post pointing to the FB groups I was apart of?  Utilize those!  There are people in there who have been eating this way for years.  Tons and tons of ideas.
