For Mothers' day this year my kids bought me a spiralizer!! I was super excited to play with this new tool, but the busyness of life kept me from having the time to try any new recipes for about two weeks. Finally I came home with a box of cucumbers ready to try this recipe and went to break out my spiralizer.....It was gone!
My spiralizer came in a little box, and I had left it safely on my veggie cart in my kitchen to wait until I had time to play. Unfortunately, the recycle was also placed temporarily on the veggie cart, and my brand new, in-the-box spiralizer was recycled. (my kids are so efficient in their chores)
I got a replacement one, and here is the first recipe that I was able to try. It is fabulously tasty..Enjoy!
