7 Pilates Routines That Will Tone Your Bod Every Day of the Week

How To Prepare Zoodles

Cut Your Zucchini Noodles The Right Way

To make zoodles, cut both ends off of the zucchini. Slice the zucchini into two halves. From there, use a tool like the Kitchenaid spiralizer attachment that screws onto your stand mixer or a free-standing tool like the one from OXO, or an Inspiralizer to unspool fine or extra fine zucchini ribbons from the core of the zucchini.

In a pinch, you could try using a vegetable peeler to peel long planks off the zucchini and then slice them into noodles. Or, cut the planks using a chef's knife and then further slice them into matchsticks. Once you've processed the zucchini into zoodles, store them in the refrigerator where they taste best within three days.

While zoodles can be eaten raw and dressed up in pesto or another salad dressing, if you want to cook them, these are the three methods to try.

How To Cook Sautéed Zoodles

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add two teaspoons of oil (olive or coconut) or a pat of unsalted butter. Toss in the zoodles (spiralized from one zucchini), salt to taste, and sauté for several minutes, turning with tongs until the color of the zoodles deepens and they become soft.

Serving Suggestion: After oil is heated, stir in thinly sliced garlic or minced fresh ginger to sizzle and scent the oil. This would be the time to also add a dash of spice like a curry powder, if you like. Once zoodles are cooked, garnish with a scattering of toasted coconut, shredded fresh cilantro and/or mint leaves, and chopped scallions. Pair it with fish.

Is Taylor Swift writing a memoir?

There are no confirmed reports of Taylor Swift writing a book. However, with so many of her lyrics sounding like poetry, the final track on Midnights being called "Dear Reader," and the fact The Tortured Poets Department has so many library themes and tie-ins, Swifties are starting to wonder if a book is on its way. In fact, Reddit users are hoping for everything from a Selena Gomez cookbook collab to an art book.

@hjulrich on TikTok points out that the consistent number two references Taylor Swift has made since she announced TTPD in February could be another project instead of another album. "I think it’s a book as well," one comment agrees. "I think the book is coming out on May 2nd a fortnight after the album release." The first TTPD track is called "Fortnight" *and* Taylor's online cluesare starting to spell out "Post-Fortnight!"

Is All Too Well a book by Taylor Swift?

In the music video short film for "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)," Taylor (and Stranger Things' Sadie Sink) plays a fictionalized version of herself — one who grows up to be an author. The music video ends with Taylor publishing a book titled "All Too Well" and doing a special reading at the Housing Works bookstore in New York City.

Did Taylor Swift write a children's book?

Taylor Swift hasn't published a children's book, but you can buy a children's book about her! Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography is a super cute read for kids (or collectors of any age) that goes into some of her life, her songwriting, and why Swifties love her.

Did Taylor Swift write Argylle?

Rumors were circulating that Taylor Swift was the author behind Argylle, a story about an author who loves all things cozy and all things cats. However, after it turned out to be false (along with a rumor Ryan Reynolds penned the book), the real authors turned out to be Australian novelist & screenwriter Terry Hayes and British author Tammy Cohen.

What else has Taylor Swift written?

Taylor Swift is famous for writing her own music, and has solo writing credits on her Tortured Poets Department songs "Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys.” She's also the only writer behind hit songs "Fifteen," "Red," "This Love," "Daylight," "Cornelia Street," "My Tears Ricochet," and the entirety of her Speak Now album.
