    LOVE spaghetti squash! We make it with Laughing Cow Light Swiss, a little garlic powder, a little butter spray and some grated parmesan...it tastes like Alfredo noodles. YUM!

    We love spaghetti squash around our house. We use it as a substitute for pasta. I can eat two whole cups of the stuff and only get 80-90 calories. Try that with spaghetti!!

    We keep it simple, often putting nothing but about a tablespoon of pesto sauce on it and mixing it in. Very tasty and very healthy.

    I love this veggie! I even just spray it with some butter spray and sprinkle with parmesian. So good!

    I love spaghetti squash! I just at it for the first time last week and have been eating it all this week too. I just baked it and then sauteed some onions and tossed in the squash. So tasty!!! I can't wait to try it in other recipes.

    I cut mine in half and sprinkle it with olive oil, some salt and pepper then roast it cut side down for 40 minutes. Shreds up so nicely and I use the shell as a bowl for the " noodles". Top it with ground chicken, no sugar added spaghetti sauce & a sprinkling of mozzarella. Super delish. It is one of those items that let's me feel fuller because I can have more noodles this way than I can with real pasta.

    I have to be honest, I was skeptical when I first read your post of squash tacos. However,
    I just read the reviews on www.allrecipes.com for the squash tacos and now I have to try them.

    Did you see the recipe for Southwestern Spag. Squash where the author put black beans in the dish. I bet that would be good in the tacos too.

    But, I will probably have to make a small portion of ground turkey for my husband. I am not sure that he would even try them.

    That's the recipe I'm making! :laugh: Since it's Lent, no meat on Fridays and I just thought tacos would be great. When I came across this recipe then read the reviews, I was sold! I think it's going to be great!
