    There are times when you have to make a dish for the leftovers alone. This is one of them.

    The downside here is that there are only two servings depending on the size of the squash, but there is a quick remedy for that - just double it from the get-go and find a secret place in the fridge to store your stash. It's tasty and absolutely mouthwatering when warmed up - you have been warned.

    Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash

    Spaghetti squash is a winter squash available throughout the colder months. Though it can be eaten raw or Lacto-fermented, it is perhaps best known for its ability to turn into spaghetti once baked and forked into thin strings. Like this, you can eat it with any tomato sauce and be completely happy.

    However, it is beneficial to expand your horizons and challenge your palate, to get out there and try new things (in fact, you may find that you adore rosemary-skewered scallops). So, when life gives you hot sauce, shredded chicken, and squash, take it, eat it and hide the rest for later.

    There are plenty of vegetables stuffed in here, though it is also important to get some vitamin-rich greens in your diet, so don't skimp on the fresh leafy greens in a simple salad.

    Don't forget to add a sprinkle of your favorite aged cheese just before serving if you are eating dairy or a diced jalapeño if you can handle the heat.
