My son is on a diet and he bakes a squash casserole using spaghetti
squash and canned tuna and little cubes of Laughing Cow process cheese.
Oddly enough, it's the only dish that he knows how to prepare. He'll
make two servings and eats both - at different times, of course. He
really seems to like it and makes it several times a week. I wish he'd
use a cheaper squash and Velveeta instead of Laughing Cow. Anyway, it's
a low calorie dish.


Okey doke. I never have cared for spaghetti squash. IMHO it's too fibrous
for a casserole like this.

Where did you get the idea Velveeta is cheap? LOL It's processed cheese,
sure, but a block of it isn't cheap.

I've seen ads for those little triangles of Laughing Cow cheese... seems
like more of a snack than something you'd cook with.
