Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash
I love this meal because the squash becomes your bowl! Mix it all up and scrape the sides of the squash with each yummy bite. Nutritious, low carb and gluten-free meal.

Notes/Tips

Adjust buffalo sauce to your liking.

Add other veggies, pecans or grapes to chicken salad.

Yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese or mayo can be used for the dairy.

Topping suggestions- pepper slices, green onion, bacon or blue cheese crumbles, hot sauce and cream drizzle.

***Bake the plain squash seeds and offer them to the birds, squirrels or deer outside (optional). Fun for the kids!

Roast plain seeds in a preheated 275F oven. Roast for about 15minutes on baking sheet. Mix often to avoid burning. 

Let the seeds cool before putting outside for wildlife.
