If you’ve ever tried a low carb diet, you’ve probably been introduced to the idea of zoodles, in other words zucchini noodles. They are a low carb alternative to regular pasta. Want to indulge in pasta but don’t want to feel guilty over all those empty calories? Want to gorge (or corge ;)) yourself but don’t want to feel super bloated by the enemy, carbs? WELL zoodles are a great solution to this problem. All it takes to make them is a spiralizer and some zucchini.
This fascination with replacing regular carbs in our life, like pasta, rice, burger patties, etc with alternatives such as, zoodles, shredded cauliflower, portabello mushrooms, etc, has taken over the healthy lifestyle blogosphere. However, these options aren’t always the most convenient, because it does involve a lot of prep work if you don’t have the tools to make all these alternatives.

The name of the shop stems from the other name for zucchini, courgette, which was borrowed from the French language. I thought to myself that sounds like corvette but it would not be a subtle name if the shop was just called courgette. Courgette can also be manipulated into courgeous which sounds like gorgeous. So that’s how “Hey Courgeous” was born.
