Zucchini Noodles with Bacon, Garlic, and Scallops

zucchini noodles with scallops

spiralizerI used my 7-Blade Spiralizer (affiliate) to make these zucchini noodles happen!

As much as we love our veggies, I’ve never considered getting a vegetable spiralizer… *gasp!*

Ok, so zucchini noodles and curly fries does sound fun… but would buying yet another kitchen gadget be worth it? Keep in mind… single mom with a kid graduating from college soon… and starting med school. Gotta keep my spending in check!

But when I spotted this 7-Blade Spiralizer (affiliate) for under $30, I couldn’t pass it up!

While I waited for my next-day delivery, I stocked up on zucchini (first time ever, buying this in my entire life!), sweet potatoes, yellow squash, daikon, and carrots to spiralize!

When it arrived, the first thing I threw on there was a zucchini… because srsly… the countless zucchini “zoodle” recipes available online.

And LOOKIE! Omg, so much fun!!!

It took only a minute to transform one zucchini into these perfect noodles! 😀

And being that I’ve never tasted a freakin zucchini before, I thought adding bacon, spinach, garlic, and juicy scallops would guarantee a winner, even for my first try.
