Paleo Zoodles, there’s a gadget for that!

Tried out my latest kitchen gadget.  In case you missed it… I have a secret love for these novelty tools.  Try ALL the gadgets! Thankfully a band of inventors are hard at work creating these things, saving me from the chore of cooking. Want to turn your fresh zucchini into noodles shaped like spaghetti?  YES, yes I do.  There’s a gadget for that!

Yep, I bought one, cool huh?!  Of course, I’ve gotta share and you’ve gotta see!

The gadget is a Paderno Spiralizer, you can find one online on Amazon $$ and Williams Sonoma $$$.  It’s simple to use and produce spiral cuts, shoestring and vegetable noodles for adding new texture to countless dishes, stir-fries and salads.  The spiralizer blade worked good on the soft zucchini.  I cant wait to try it on some other veggies!

Look out cucumbers, carrots and potatoes your next.  I’m feeling “inspiralized”with combinations and topping ideas, curly pesto potatoes, asian slaw or cucumber with fresh avocado dressing?

A veggie alternative to pasta if you are looking to cut back on Carbs this summer.  I made a chilled "Zoodle" salad with a Ginger Basil Vinaigrette dressing. Holy Yum, it turned out light and tasty!
