What?! Zucchini Noodles AGAIN! How many different ways can you
prepare them anyway? I know, I know, right?! WRONG! And I don't mean
different sauces, of course. These are great with as many sauces as you
can make, but they're only great if they're prepped right before hand!

I
was thunkin' again...I had Beets in my fridge that were calling out to
me. I also knew there are almost always Frozen Cherries in my
freezer...hmmm...yes, there is Cream Cheese in my fridge too! Do I have
Yellow Sweet Potatoes? Of course I have Yellow Sweet Potatoes! Oh
