This may be stupid but I love it so it seems like a cheat. But is spaghetti squash counted as a veggi and does it go towards the 4 1/2 cup minimum? Thanks ladies.

We don't have that kind of squash here. Do the recipes work with regular squash or zucchini?

Don't forget you can have whole wheat pasta on phase 2.

I know, but I'm just beginning phase 2 with 1 multigrain per day and I chose cereal for breakfast.
