Double Whammy- Spaghetti Squash Mac and Cheese AND Sweet, Sticky, and Spicy Chicken

So, I was supposed to make the Spaghetti Squash Mac and Cheese last night for dinner, but we still had meatballs left over. We finished those off last night, and I made this as our side tonight. I thought it turned out really well! I used butter instead of ghee and regular flour instead of whole wheat. It was a little watery, but only a little bit. I can't think of anything I would change! You can find the recipe here on POPSUGAR Fitness.


 I thought this Sweet, Sticky, and Spicy chicken was really good! It was quick and easy to make too. Instead of just sprinkling salt and pepper on the chicken, I put about 1/4 cup of corn starch in a Ziploc bag with some salt and pepper, put the chicken in, and shook it up to coat it. Now that I've tasted it, I would definitely skip the salt and just use corn starch and pepper. The soy sauce adds plenty of salt for me. But I try to watch my sodium intake, so if you're a salt-lover, go for it anyway! I thought the heat in this was perfect. Two tablespoons of hot sauce seemed like a lot, but it was the perfect amount of heat. Hubby and I ate it sans the rice, but I think the rice would lighten up the sauce a bit. Definitely give this one a shot! It would be great as a stir-fry too. You can find the recipe here on Allrecipes.com.
