Spaghetti Squash & Coconut Custard Pie
Minnie is back and she brings us yet another recipe using spaghetti squash! Yes, Minnie is just slightly addicted to it.
Minnie Says: I made this again today and we had it for dessert tonight—it is majorly yummy, especially with a dollop of fat free Cool Whip on top. We both said we could eat the whole thing tonight! It is waaay lower in calories—but not if you go crazy and eat it all at one time! LOL!

I’m so sorry, but I just can’t wrap my mind or my taste buds around this recipe. I have an issue with mixing veggies or fruits with other types of food.
