For those of you moving on to Cruise, here’s a good Protein Vegetable recipe for you.  My squash was so big I made two recipes out of it.  Thanks farmfreshtoyou.com for delivering such beautiful squashes and leeks to me!!  How could I go wrong with this?

CHICKEN WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH, BACON AND LEEKS

1/2 large spaghetti squash, roasted (directions below)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup fat free cheese, shredded
1 cup shredded chicken
2 leeks, whites only, sliced
2 slices turkey bacon
2 T dried red bell pepper
1t red pepper flakes

Carve out the spaghetti squash trying to keep the shell intact.  Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and pour into the reserved squash shell.  Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and roast at 350, cut side down on a cookie sheet, for 45 minutes.
