Spiralizin'

Soooo...even Siri doesn't know what a 'spiralizer' is... which makes me feel really cool because, you know - Siri knows everything right?  Well she's missing the mark BIG TIME because the spiralizer is one of the coolest new things I've found in a long time!

I had no idea these things existed until someone in this group I am a part of on Facebook for recipes and health tips posted this contraption with a photo of their dinner they made the night before.  I was so excited about it.  I took to Amazon.com right away, PRIME'D this baby to my office and got to spiralizin'!

Here is a link to the spiralizer I purchased: SPIRALIZERRR!

"Mock" raw alfredo sauce:

1/4 cup soaked cashews
1 whole avocado
juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup of water (or more for thinner texture)
a bit of thyme
fresh basil
salt
pepper

Blend everything in a food processor or blender and set aside.

Put your spiralized zucchini 'noodles' in a large pan with a bit of coconut oil to heat the pan.  Get them a bit warmed up (maybe 5-7 minutes of sauteing).  Add your sauce and mix until warm.

Other suggestions: Add fresh cut tomatoes for the acidity?  Bell peppers for a kick?  Instead of the mock Alfredo some lemon, olive oil and pepper would do just fine for a spruce'd up veggie side dish...
