If you know my husband, you know he loves anything spicy and loves Franks Hot Sauce. He’ll put it on anything. He’s also a health nut….with a sweet tooth. (We are kind of the same. Except for the whole spicy foods thing. I’m a wimp.) So I made this Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash just for him.
And I just wanted to tell him thank you for supporting me and this little blog of mine, for putting up with late nights on the computer, and for waiting patiently to eat dinner while I take about 100 pictures of it. And then re-heating it, without complaining. So today, to show him a little love we’re playing a little game of Q&A. Fun right?
I’m already laughing you guys…
What is my favorite blog to read called?
Brett: “Yes Cake Please” (So close honey, it’s Yes, I want Cake! Love your blog Katie- delicious and inspiring!)
What is my favorite prop to use?
Brett: “The wood things I made for you” (That would be the photo boards he made for me and yes, they’re my favorite.)
What is the weirdest thing you’ve seen me do for this blog?
Brett: “I don’t know. Do you? Maybe this?”
If you could have your own blog what would you call it?
Brett: “Sweet Bikes & More” (Funny. He says this as he’s looking at bikes online. He’s slightly obsessed with cycling. The “And More”would include techy gadget geeky stuff. I just know it would.)
What do you do for a living and what are your hobbies?
Brett: “I’m a Financial Analyst. I like biking, running, reading tech blogs, playing with my boys and dating my cute wife (paid him to say that last part!).
What’s your favorite recipe of mine?
Brett: I really like those Funfetti Cheesecake Bars and Snickerdoodle Bars. (See, sweet tooth! Guess I better post the Snickerdoodle Bars if they’re a favorite!)
Who does the dishes?
Brett: “I do. Most of the time, if you don’t beat me to it.” (It’s true, he’s a good sport about doing the dishes. But he’s a firm believer in “letting them soak.”)
As for this Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash, it’s actually quite tasty and spicy! So I will say, adjust the amount of wing sauce to your liking. If you’re like Brett you can douse your plate in even more. I found the recipe over at Foodologie and my husband is eternally grateful. It’ll be a frequent request I’m sure.
- 1 Spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 chicken breasts, cubed and thawed
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 3/4 cup Franks Hot Sauce (more or less to taste)
- blue cheese crumbles (more or less to taste)
- Heat a large saucepan with olive oil. Saute garlic and green onions until golden. Add chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- While chicken is cooking, cook spaghetti squash in the microwave in a covered dish for about 6 min. Once the squash is cool scoop out the insides and seeds. Using a fork, gently scrape the rest of the spaghetti squash out. Fluff with the fork to get the strands loose.
- Add spaghetti squash to the saucepan and toss together with carrots and chopped cabbage.
- Stir in desired amount of Frank's Hot Sauce. Garnish with blue cheese and green onions. Serve!

LOVING this recipe as I’m a HUGE Franks fan too 🙂 Loved your hubby’s answered so fun!
Yay for hubbies named Brett! And your family is adorable by the way!! And I seriously can’t wait to make this spaghetti squash!
Now THIS is a recipe my husband would be all over. What a fantastic post! I like that this is kinda the weirdest thing. I think my husband thought the same. 🙂
I’ve been looking for something to do with spaghetti squash. This sounds delicious!
Does your hubs want to come over for the excess of sweets we have lying around?? My hubby lacks a sweet tooth, so I’m jealous! He’ll have to bring his own bottle of frank’s though. We go through that liquid gold (orange?) like crazy!
awww I LOVE learning more about you guys!
What a fave recipe you haven’t posted?! You must post soon!!! Your hubs sounds like a fab guy!
What a gorgeous family! I wish my husband had a sweet tooth, instead I just eat it all!
I love letting them soak too!!! Your hubby is adorable and so sweet… love that he does the dishes!!!
we are huge fans of spaghetti squash in this house – we would love this recipe!! Great pic of your guys!!
Yay! So glad you liked it 🙂 I just bought a spaghetti squash this week to remake it 😀
Oh seriously Karla, we loved it!!
What a beautiful family, Kristy! I love that yours and my husband answered the same to the “weirdest thing I’ve done for the blog…” question. Great minds! 🙂
Okay my husband needs to get on the board making. It seems to be a trend. 🙂 Loved reading about him!
Ah, so sweet. What a wonderful family! You do have to post those Snickerdoodle bars! I love how many husbands help with the props!
That photo is adorable — love that the little guys are making faces. mine do that (but they aren’t so little anymore!). And your buffalo chicken spaghetti squash has made me CRAVE buffalo something so thanks for that. Gorgeous family, awesome recipe — thanks for sharing!
Sounds really good. Thank you and have a great weekend!
This is like a Denney boy’s clean eating dream! I can totally picture Brett saying all of those answers. So funny!
My husband needs to get on this washing dishes thing…seems like every hubs is doing the dishes, but mine. 🙂
The recipe sounds delicious! I love buffalo chicken anything so it’s no surprise that I’m already loving this!
thanks Kate!!
Is “letting them soak” code for procrastinating? If so, I’m a big believer in letting them soak too!
Yes, it’s totally code for procrastination!
Aww, what a gorgeous family you have! 🙂 And I love that he knew that answer to the first question.
I’ve honestly never tried spaghetti squash and don’t even really know what it is. Off to check that out!
Thanks Erin!
Okay– this may be one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten!! I was skeptical while cooking it, had a funny look to it. But OH MY WORD. It’s amazing. My hot wing connoisseur husband LOVES it too. Thank you so so much for sharing! Made this whole30 girl very, very happy 🙂
