The Best Marinated Zucchini

July 18, 2020 Leave a Comment

It's peak season for zucchini right now, but other than grilling it, I'm never quite sure what to do with it. Roasted zucchini is delicious, but who wants to crank up the oven in mid-July? And, despite ...

You guys, my spiralizaer is on the fritz.    Earlier this week, as I was prepping this recipe, the carrots started catching on the blade and making these weird little C-shaped shavings instead of long pasta-like strands. I thought maybe the carrots were too tough, but then I tried it ...
