SPAGHETTI SQUASH & MEATBALLS 
1/2 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
2 tbsp. uncooked oatmeal
1 tsp. oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
2 lg. spaghetti squash

Mix meat, oatmeal, oregano and garlic together. Form into little meatballs. Spray baking pan with Pam and set meatballs in pan. Bake at 350 degrees until done. Cut squash in half, remove seeds, place foil on rack in oven. Place the 4 halves cut side down on foil and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.

To test for doneness, take a fork and scrape flesh from skin, it will come apart an look like spaghetti. When done scrape squash from skin. Serve with meatballs. Top with tomato sauce of choice (1 cup per serving) no sugar. (Weigh and measure 4 ounce meatballs per serving and 1 cup squash.) Serve with 1 cup tossed salad. Single serving = 4 ounces protein, 1 cup starch, 1 cup vegetable, 1 cup salad.
