one’s creativity is SO key to helping to ensure a healthy mindset …
human beings are all born with an instinct to express themselves through
creativity but sometimes external factors impede peoples ability to
engage in creative expression and so their full healthy mindset is also
impeded! We need to get back to ensuring that everyone has at least ONE
creative outlet for expressing themselves. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So

Slice ends off the squash, then cut into rings.<br />* Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.<br />* Place squash on lined baking sheet. Use hands to coat each ring w/ a little olive oil/salt/pepper.<br />* Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping rings about half way. I love doing these in my Air Fryer helps with some caramelization of the squash - nom nom! <br />* Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then peel the skin away and separate the strands into long spaghetti noodles using a fork. <br />CHICKEN:<br />* While spaghetti squash is cooking, make shredded chicken. Pan fry on stove, cook in instant pot, or buy rotisserie chicken - once cooked shred/pull apart with forks or hand mixer. <br />CASSEROLE:<br />* In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, egg, buffalo sauce of choice until well incorporated.<br />* In a large bowl, add cooked spaghetti squash, shredded chicken + buffalo sauce mixture until well combined. Stir in celery or any other add-ins.<br />* Pour contents in a greased 8×8 glass baking dish. Bake at 400 for ~25 minutes or until starting to lightly brown on the edges.

it’s just easier when someone else makes the decision for you … when I
had the home childcare running I would get the little ones to help choose my
next manicure colour by majority vote wins and they’d be all excited to
see it the next day … somehow Paul is not quite as excited to help nor
invested in the outcome as the crew was.
