Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash Casserole
I truly love the versatility of spaghetti squash. Just pop it into the microwave until tender and the trick is to squeeze out some of the water (donโt go overboard). This veggie can really be mixed with anything and it keeps you full and satisfied for very little calories! Miracle veggie if you ask me. ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ The cottage cheese adds the extra boost of protein and makes this dish super decadent tasting (trust me!!).
