One-Pot Spaghetti Squash and Meat Sauce More spaghetti squash recipes I love to make are Baked Spaghetti Squash and Cheese, Turkey Taco Spaghetti Squash Boats and Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Parmesan.

I used a box of Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix, a box of fat free instant chocolate pudding, a little water and some canned pumpkin. That’s it! No oil, no butter, no eggs. I’ve been perfecting these for weeks. My first experiments didn’t include pumpkin; they were good, but I noticed no one in my house was eating them. When I asked why, they told me they were good, perfect for people on diets…....

Sweet Potato and Carrot “Tots” I tested these a few times and finally got them just right.

These taste great on their own, but if your kids like to dip their potatoes in ketchup, it’s also great on the side.
