Oh, zoodles, how I love you! Yes. Really, I do. Lately I’ve been a bit lazy about pulling out my spiralizer. However, yesterday reminded me of just how much time it takes. Which is barely any! Honestly, the time it takes you wash the zucchini, get out the spiralizer, and spiralize your perfect zucchini noodles is less than five minutes! No longer will I be lazy because I like zoodles as much as I do pasta. I’m not sure how that {Read More}

Chimichurri sauce originated in Argentina, and its flavors perfectly complement grilled flank steak. {Read More}
