A delicate looking herb with a penetrating fragrance, thyme is an herb we should all take time to investigate and enjoy. And with about sixty different varieties including French (common) thyme, lemon thyme, orange thyme and silver thyme, this herb is sure to add some spice to your life. Thyme leaves are curled, elliptically shaped and very small, measuring about one-eighth of an inch long and one-sixteenth of an inch wide.
Spaghetti squash, another winter squash variety, is a low calorie, low carbohydrate substitution for pasta. It has a stringy, mild, slightly sweet flavor and is perfect base for olive oil or tomato sauces. Stuff it, roast it, bake it, puree it, you name it. Serve it with breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or dessert.
Spaghetti squash is great to use in place of pasta, topped with meatballs and tomato sauce and lots of fresh parmesan :yum: Depends on where you are in daily carb allowance on whether squash (and how much of it and what kind) fits into your meal plan or not.
