Zucchini Noodles Done Four Ways! Thai Prawn and Peanut, Chicken Edamame, Basil Pesto and Chocolate Chilli Beef
If you’ve never hopped aboard the ‘zoodles’ (A.K.A zucchini noodles) train but have always secretly wanted to get on board, do I have the perfect four recipes for you!
Whenever you’re trying to cook something for the first time, especially if you’re not a ninja in the kitchen, it’s always a good idea to find easy recipes so you don't get too overwhelmed.
These are all easy and guess what? They all actually taste good.
I know… Shocking.
So, why use zucchini noodles? They’re a real impasta!
By using zucchini noodles instead of regular wheat noodles, you can help improve your digestion and increase your intake of nutrients.
I'm sharing a Thai Prawn and Peanut Zoodle dish, a Chicken and Edamame Zoodle Soup, Zucchini Noodles with Basil Pesto and Chocolate Chilli Beef Zoodles.
Now that we have our noods in order what are you waiting for?

Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?
OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.
A child has found a house. The market feels like it’s moving. There’s pressure to act quickly. And before anyone has really had time to think it through, parents are being asked to step in with cash, guarantees, or equity from their own home.
Would you help your kids out with buying a home? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
