Thai food, Chinese food, Japanese food can you say yum?  Soy sauce, MSG, wheat…can you say belly ache? at least for me!  I love finding unusual recipes that fit all my dietary needs!  The newest and latest gadget that I have discovered is called “the spiralizer” you can find it on Amazon here.  It takes vegetables and spirals them into thick or thin noodles or ribbons that you can use..
