Great ideas--thanks! I have never seen spaghetti squash here, but zucchini is everywhere this time of year. I will try threading some (never done that before).

It's kind of funny, but we are on very different diets now. I have high blood pressure, so I'm on the fruit, veggie, legume, and lean meats diet, whereas he is going to have to up his fats, as Anelia said, and will probably crave the fattier meats just for variation. We are both foodies, so this will be a huge change for us. Or a challenge, anyway, which I always enjoy.
