As the weather finally gets warmer, we want to spend less time inside. I bought a Spiralizer to help cut down and cooking time, and my kids just love to use it to make low-carb noodles out of vegetables! These zucchini noodles are perfect for warm summer afternoons, and the avocado pesto can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
