can I substitute almond flour or psyllium husk for the cheese since I don’t mix meat and dairy?
For sure Sara 🙂
What can you subsitute for Zucchini?
You could have a go at spiralizing bell pepper 🙂
Could we have spaghetti squash, instead of the zucchini spirals?
yes but watch out for the carbs as spaghetti squash has over double the amount of carb content than zucchini
