Squash is a good food if you're trying to lose weight but most people
don't care for it. My son makes a pretty good spaghetti squash casserole
with tuna and Laughing Cow low fat cheese cubes. I'm trying to get him
use Velveeta cause it's cheaper but he's on a restricted calorie diet.
It's pretty tasty but I'm not on a diet.
