This is soooo goood! Instead of getting the canned pumpkin, I accidently got the canned pumpkin pie mix! LOL I thought it was going to be disgusting but actually tasted really good! I am sure the calorie count would be different though. The only problem I had was that the spaghetti squash came out real watery. Maybe I cooked it too long? Thanks! Roni!

I found you last week when I was searching for something vegan to make with a spaghetti squash I had bought. It was delicious, and you are absolutely right..it makes a ton. I know we will enjoy the leftovers. I just blogged about it and put up pictures, if you would like to see. http://mysocalledveganlife.com/2008/10/13/sunday-eatsincluding-tofu-apples/ Thanks again!!! Roni,

How do you come up with this stuff? I loved the spaghetti squash in the bottom of the bowl, as did my toddler (my husband and preschooler are not sold just yet). Usually, I like really quick-prep meals, but I enjoyed the time this one took to make. I had a Paula Deen moment while putting my veggies in the oven -- I felt like I was putting so much LOVE into what I was doing... How cheesey is that? But I am woking so hard to make healthier food choices for my family, so the time is worth it. Thanks for all the great recipes, Roni. Good grief, Roni, this stuff is so darn good!!!

I just made the chili and it's outstanding. I could only find regular canned tomatoes in the store so I added some cayenne and crushed up a single dried red chili to compensate and the spice turned out perfectly. This one's going under my faves in my family's recipe binder! WOW! I just made the chili and it’s outstanding.

I made it in the slow cooker too. It filled mine to the brim, but it all fit. I left it to cook for about 10 hours, and the beans were just right. The flavor combinations are perfect. I just love the texture of the spaghetti squash, without the added carbs from real spaghetti. I add a T. of light sour cream to top it off when I serve it, just like I do with "regular" chili, and it was quite tasty. Thanks for another super recipe, Roni! This is so good!

It feels so good when I find out others enjoy the idea. As for the points, yeah, you are probably right. If you use my Nutritional Info it's probably more because I count the calories and such for those not counting points. Some people may also count the squash as 1 just to be safe. I'm such an over estimator! LOL Thanks so much for letting me know! It feels so good when I find out others enjoy the idea.

Yum...Yum! My kids & husband even loved it!! I put half the batch in muffin tins froze them, then popped them into a freezer bag (1/2 c = 1pt.) perfect for a quick snack! I so love this...and it is great on the spagetti squash too...but I like it all by itself. I did mine in the crockpot on Satuday. I prepared everything on Friday night (grilling the veggies in the oven..and all) then put it all in the crockpot and pulled it out in the am. I will make this a weekly staple. According the "sparkle's" recipe calculator it was only 2pts per serving (I had just over 12 1c servings in mine). Is that about what you figured? (without the squash..since that is 0 pts.)

If I was to guess I'd say about a cup, it was a little more then 2 ladle-fulls. Moon – You know I didn’t weigh out a serving, I just separated it in equal parts.
