Life on the Avenue

This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!

Spiralized Vegetable: A Low Carb Alternative to Pasta

I've been seeing recipes all over the net using spiralized courgettes as a low carb alternative to spaghetti. Along with the recipes I've seen websites selling gadgets that spiralize the courgette for you.

It all looked a bit messy to me so I was happy to see ready prepared spiraled vegetables for sale in Dunnes Stories this evening. I'm sure this makes dinner prep far easier so I might try them some day.

There was a selection of spiralized vegetables including beetroot, courgette and sweet potato.

Have you eaten vegetables like this? How were they - does the courgette make a good substitute for noodle?
