I had a hard time finding spaghetti squash at my local grocery store. I ended up using zucchini instead, and it worked out great!

These tacos were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with less chili powder.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tacos turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the spaghetti squash.

I had a hard time getting the spaghetti squash to cook evenly. Some parts were still hard, while others were mushy.
