One of their staples is squash (acorn, butternut, hubbard, scallop, spaghetti, and summer). Mine hasn't tried them all yet but each one she has loved.
You'll want to use this list as it's extremely helpful:

Ask away! That's what we're here for!
Who would have though your bearded dragon would get you to eat more healthy LOL!!
Happy to help!
I agree with you about my beardie getting me to eat more healthy! So funny to be picking out various fruits and vegetables I've never tried before! LOL!I microwave the Spaghetti squash. Just take a fork and poke some holes in it so it doesn't explode. Cook for about 5 minutes and then turn over and cook another 5 minutes. If you can put a knife or fork through it easily then it is done. If not cook it for a few more minutes.
Once it's cooked cut it in half. Be careful because it is very hot!! Let cool. Once cool enough to handle you will seen see why they call it Spaghetti Squash!! Take a fork and remove the seeds and discard then use the fork to scrape the flesh from the outer skin and put into a bowl. The flesh is just like spaghetti unlike other squashes which are more like a cooked potato.
Put aside some for you beardie. The rest you can eat just like you would Spaghetti. I like to put a good meat sauce over it with some fresh basil and parmesan cheese. A little garlic is always good too!
You can cook the butternut squash the same way in the microwave as well. I put a little aside for my beardie and the rest I prepare for myself with some butter and brown sugar to taste. Some walnuts mixed in are good too
You can also use your oven at 350. Just cut the squash in half and put each face down in a casserole dish with a small amount of water. It's done when you can easy put a knife through the skin.
