If you don't own a spiralizer, you are lacking an essential kitchen tool. I feel like I have wasted many years in the kitchen, missing out on some pretty awesome recipes. This is a life changing kitchen gadget! And the best part is I ordered mine on Amazon for less than $30, what a steal! I love how there are three different blade attachments, and the spiralizer suctions to your counter so it won't slide as your are working.
Every summer I get a ton of zucchini and get tired of the same old recipes. I just tried this zucchini salad recipe and it was absolutely delicious! And I am now convinced that kids will eat anything shaped like spaghetti, since Ella has never liked zucchini before. Both girls wolfed this down and asked for seconds.
