Zucchini “noodles” are getting RAVE reviews and I’ve been wanting to try them for a while now. I even ordered my “Veggetti Pro” from Amazon, but I have been less than enthusiastic about taking the time to actually make them, so it’s never been used. (Is it just me, or should they have tried to come up with better name for this gadget that turns vegetables into spiral-like-noodles??)
So, last week, when I was walking through my Jewel produce section and I stumbled across zucchini noodles already cut, I felt like I hit the zucchini noodle jackpot! Some of you have told me Jewel cuts these fresh, but this is the first time I’ve seen them and I was elated!
So here’s what I did just and it was Y-U-M. I mean Y-U-M! I want to eat it every night :))

Trader Joe’s carries pre portioned goat cheese medallions, which are SUPER handy! No on in my house likes goat cheese but me, so this way I have a perfectly portioned serving for one when I want it and it’s FRESH.
What other amazing ways have you used zucchini noodles to make healthy recipes??? PLEASE SHARE!
All is well,

Good to know that one can have fresh zucchini “noodles” without having to buy the contraption for making them. I have waaay too many gadgets and appliances sitting unused on shelves in my basement! Thanks for the tip about the goat cheese medallions. Once I open a package, it usually sits in the fridge until it gets oookie and has to be tossed. Speaking of low-impact foods, it’s time for me to whip up another batch of one-point chili. The half-container of it that I had in the fridge mysteriously disappeared after I went to bed the other night. And an orange-colored bowl and spoon were sitting in the kitchen sink. My hubby likes it too!
