LOVE the zucchini noodles idea! Thanks! 🙂 Just wanted to share that we have stopped using the microwave. Using steaming for veggies and toaster oven for reheating. Several other countries have banned them. There is research indicating it alters cellular composition of food. As digestive enzymes in food seem to be so fragile, can’t see how they would survive being nuked. I did a bunch of research awhile back.. this article pulls a lot of it together. http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/health-hazards-to-know-about/microwave-ovens-the-proven-dangers
