i was looking at that spagetti veggie maker....so its good?! 

For something bread-like (actually surprisingly bread-like) try the oopsie rolls. They are made with eggs and cream cheese and are also low carb. I never make a full recipe because they don't keep well. You can find a lot of comments on cooking technique and storage, though. http://healthyrecipesblogs.com/2013/07/23/oopsie-rolls/  

Yes Sarahduke the veggie spiral device is excellent! I purchased mine at Bed Bath and Beyond. I used mine this afternoon to make me a potato, zucchini, and carrot stir fry for lunch today... yummy. Trackin64...I may try the bread you suggest but is their a substitute for the dairy because I cannot have cream cheese.  

Oh cool - I saw an ad for the spiral device sold at BB&B and wondered if it was any good. I think I might just have to get one! Alas, I know of no substitute for cream cheese. But if you are eating eggs, another bread replacement is the MIM (muffin in a minute). It resembles whole grain bread and is made with flaxseed meal, an egg, 1 tsp veg oil, dash salt, and 1/2 tsp baking powder. Mix it all up and microwave in a coffee cup for about 1 minute.  

Awesome! I will try the bread in a cup. :) Thank you!! Good Luck with the veggie spiral device and let me know how it works for you... I love mine. I made some fish and stir fired veggies tonight yummy! All fresh.  

This Veggetti is one of the best objects I have ever purchased, I certainly love mine... Bed bath and beyond is the place I purchased mine...I use it often and make my own combo of sauces...using only fresh and wholesome things..Tomatoes etc...it comes with a little instruction and recipe guide...it is awesome.... Also Atkins has a recipe for Zucchini loaf ..it is so delicious...and made with no dairy... 

Oh sorry it has eggs regarding the dairy part.. 

I actually can have eggs... thank you! :) You know I was confused about the eggs in the beginning but when I was researching I found out that eggs are not really dairy... who knew... one more food for me :) happy happy happy!!  

I will try the Zucchini loaf and I forgot about using it in bread... silly me. :) Thank you.... do you have a good recipe?

That re-worked zucchini bread sounds great and I love zucchini bread. I wonder if I could substitute coconut flour for the soy?  

Thank you for the recipe and I will be making bread tonight!! Yummy! :) I may try to substitute the soy flour though because my system can not have soy either.... yes I am restricted on many foods...:( but I am working on the foods I can have. :) I will be eating to night.  

I use my spiralizer all the time. I like zucchini noodles best, so I need to expand my horizons a little and try some different veggies. Anyone have suggestions? 

I have used mine on potatoes, Zucchini, and carrots but using it on carrots will turn your machine orange...lol. I haven't used it on any other veggies yet, but I am doing research. The potatoes specialized fry up nice. :)
