I have been tempted to buy a "spiralizer" for a couple of months and finally decided to take the plunge. I made zoodles or zucchini noodles. They quickly cooked in boiling water after about 3-4 minutes. You don't want to overcook or they can be a little mushy. Overall, I am glad for the purchase and hopefully it will be a fun way to entice my girls to eat more veggies. Or maybe it will just be me. Regardless, I will enjoy them.
