SPAGHETTI SQUASH CUSTARD PIE FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS
If you use your imagination, you have a pretty good coconut custard pie for dieters, sans the crust. I found this recipe on a WW blog site and bravely tried it. Before you get excited, no, it doesn't taste like Mom's coconut pie, but if you crave dessert (I did) and happen to be following WW Core diet plan (I am), Bob's your uncle! ;-) Prep time does not include cooking the squash - use your favorite method for this, microwave or oven or use up leftovers as I did. The original recipe called 4 eggs, but I used 2 + 1/2 cup Eggbeaters. The fat-free margarine option: this was in the recipe as I copied it but that's not something I ever use. Unable to think of a reasonable substitute, I left it out altogether. My pie turned out just fine but use the margarine if you prefer. Or heck, go all out and sling in some butter. Just don't forget to count the points!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Put all ingredients except squash in your blender and whiz on low for a minute or so.
- Stir in the squash by hand. Pour mixture in the pan. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until just set. The top will puff up and brown.
- NB: I like it better cold. The cornmeal settles to the bottom and forms a kind of sweet polenta crust.
MOCK COCONUT PIE (SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIE)
Not too many people would know this pie is not made with coconut, but actually uses spaghetti squash. I wasn't sure what to do with a bumper crop of spaghetti squash and this quickly became an annual answer to a now non-issue!

SQUASH CUSTARD PIE
Acorn squash has been a favorite of mine since I was little and my mother baked it with sugar and cinnamon. This particular pie was something I improvised. We love pumpkin pie, but had fresh squash in excess. So I came up with this new variation! It's good to take to potlucks, to pie or cake walks at school, or to serve as a different dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas. -Mary Kelly, Hopland, California

Tips:
- For the best results, use spaghetti squash that is ripe and firm. Look for squash that is yellow or orange in color and has a smooth, unblemished skin.
- When microwaving the spaghetti squash, be sure to pierce the skin several times with a fork to prevent it from exploding.
- Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash strands out of the shell. This is much easier than trying to cut the squash with a knife.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cheese by hand. However, a food processor will make it much faster and easier.
- Be sure to grease the pie plate before pouring in the custard filling. This will help prevent the pie from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the custard to firm up.
