Making Zoodles

If you don’t have a spiralizer yet, there’s really no better time than now to get one. With zucchini season coming up, I know you are going to love making oodles of zoodles this summer (sorry, couldn’t help myself).

I’ve had a few spiralizers over the years, and this one is my favorite. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and doesn’t take up a lot of space in the cabinet.
