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!

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.

Steps:
- Whisk beer, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.

- Place squash, cut-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour enough water into baking sheet to reach 1/4-inch up the side of squash.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and cool until easily handled. Scoop and discard seeds and shred the squash meat into a bowl using a fork.
- Mix egg into shredded squash. Whisk 1/4 cup flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl; mix into squash mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper until beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add broth, 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce, and thyme; bring to a simmer. Slowly stir 1 tablespoon flour into mixture until thickened, adding more flour if needed. Stir steak into mixture and remove from heat.
- Spray a 9-inch square casserole dish with cooking spray. Add beef mixture to dish and carefully spread squash mixture over steak.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over squash layer. Increase temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and cook until cheese begins to brown, checking every 5 minutes, about 15 minutes.

I adapted this recipe from one that I tried from this site. This is a great dairy-free and gluten-free recipe. My husband did put Parmesan cheese on his portions as cheese does not bother him.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIE
The first time I ate spaghetti squash, I did not like it. The second time I had it, I baked it too much, so thought I would make a pie from. It turned out better than I expected, so from that I thought there's always something that you can make from an vegetable that you don't care for.

LOW CARB SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIE
Don't let the name throw you! This is awesome!!! This was my baby girl's absolute favorite dessert (not counting my low carb chocolate cup cakes!)

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- 2. Stir everything together, pour into glass pie plate and bake until set. (appx 10 to 20 minutes. I am high altitude, so, sometimes it takes about 25 minutes. When I lived at sea level, it took about 10 minutes. So, keep an eye on it.)
- 3. Variations: Pumpkin Pie Taste: Put cooked spaghetti squash and other ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (instead of 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 1/2 teaspoon coconut extracts) 2 teaspoons maple flavoring (instead of 1 1/2 teaspoons of coconut) 2 teaspoons of banana extract instead of coconut
- 4. TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH: Cut squash in half, remove seeds. Put cut side down on plate and cover with plastic wrap. Cook 5 to 15 minutes. Cooking time depends on wattage of microwave. I have a 1200 watt and it takes about 5 minutes. But it took 15 minutes or longer with my old one. It should be fork tender. When it is thoroughly cooked, take a fork and scrape out all of the 'spaghetti' blot excess water from spaghetti and continue as directed in the above recipe.
Tips:
1. Choosing the Right Spaghetti Squash: - Look for spaghetti squash with a deep yellow or orange color, as they are typically ripe and have a sweeter flavor. - Avoid squash with blemishes or bruises, as they may have been damaged during harvesting or transportation. - Choose a squash that feels heavy for its size, as this indicates a higher density of flesh. 2. Cooking the Spaghetti Squash: - Pierce the squash with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape during cooking. - Place the squash cut-side up in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork. - Alternatively, you can roast the squash in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. 3. Preparing the Spaghetti Squash: - Use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. - Discard the seeds and stringy bits. - Rinse the spaghetti squash strands under cold water to remove any excess starch. 4. Choosing the Right Pie Crust: - For a classic spaghetti squash pie, use a pre-made or homemade pie crust. - If you are making a gluten-free pie, use a gluten-free pie crust mix or make your crust using almond flour or coconut flour. 5. Assembling the Pie: - Layer the cooked spaghetti squash, cooked filling (such as ground beef, chicken, or vegetables), and cheese in the pie crust. - Top with an additional layer of pie crust or a lattice crust. - Bake the pie according to the recipe instructions, typically around 30-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.Conclusion:
