Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

I discovered the strangest thing in my spaghetti squash this weekend.

The seeds had sprouted inside of the squash!

I had never seen anything like that. How could they sprout with any sunlight? They were locked in tight inside that spaghetti squash flesh!

I planted a few outside my laundry room door to see if they will grow (since they were so prolific INSIDE the squash). We’ll see if anything happens, but I’m not holding my breath…

This spaghetti squash dinner is beyond simple to make and delicious to boot. Make sure you have plenty of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing handy and you’ll be good to go.

I roasted a whole chicken for the first time this weekend and used some of the breast meat for this recipe. It was a winner!

Enjoy!
