ZOMG!! THIS IS AMAZING!! So glad you made a page. I’m going low carb and I’m going Pin crazy with your recipies on Pinterest!! Thank you so much!
Any suggestions on where to find spaghetti squash or what time of year, I can never find it in my local grocery store?
Thanks again!

Aw, thanks, T!! I just got mine at Giant Eagle, a grocery store chain here. Where are you? It’s a winter squash, so they are more readily available in the fall for most areas.
This sounds amazing and I’m going to prepare it for my dinner tonight.
Please forgive my ignorance, but how does this have 1 purple??
Jean I absolutely love all your recipes!!
Thank you

Hey there, Sandra! They’ve added tomato sauce as purple now! 🙂 Here’s a link to the updated pages. Hope it helps! http://tinyurl.com/o8bcsal
Hi Jean, Does the whole can equal one purple? Thanks!
I notice mid recipe you add spaghetti sauce and towards the end you add tomato sauce. Did you mean tomato sauce or is there a recipe for the spaghetti sauce? There isn’t spaghetti sauce listed in the ingredients. TIA!:)
It’s just all tomato sauce, Mandi! 🙂
I’m new to this 21 day fix. You say this serves 6, so I’m guessing you cut each halves into thirds and the 1/3 would be your serving tonwgich equals the above 21 day cup servings? This looks amazing BTW!
Hey! I just made this and it looks amazing!! How do you measure out how much one serving is of this for 21 DAY FIX?
Thanks!

In the “pre” section it says “serves 6”. So what do you eat to count it as the 3 green and so on? Do you eat both halves? Just want to make sure I count my portions correctly. Looking forward to make these for lunch next week 🙂
Are there specific measurements? I can eyeball it but I don’t know how approved that will make them. Is it Half a squash per serving? Thank you!! I’m on day 3 and am loving it thus far.
Hi Jean, I plan on trying this recipe this weekend and was wondering about the servings. It says this is 6 servings but I am not sure if that means 1/3 of 1 of the halves is a serving or not?
Did you ever get a reply? BC I’m wanting to know the same thing!
Ashlie, it really depends on the size of your squash. Spaghetti squash = green container, so how many green containers you can fill from one side depends on your squash. This one filled 3 greens per half of the squash.
Oh wow. This sounds great!
