So on Saturday, after my 10 miles with Chelsey, I got home to find a very exciting package waiting for me.
Okay, I thought it was exciting.
It was a spiralizer!!!!
Hahaha, I’m sure most of you think I’m insane. Well, I kinda am. But besides that, I’d always wanted to make REAL zucchini spaghetti. I had always just used a peeler, so my zucchini turned out flat, not really like spaghetti.
Well, take a look at this:
BOOYAH! The strands were so long too! It was like Lady and the Tramp!
I even experimented with carrots, which were a little more difficult since they are so thin:
Tada! Isn’t that so cool! and it takes seconds! There are three different blades for different thicknesses, and one can make you potato chips (or chip like shapes out of other veggies). I can’t wait to get experimenting!
I decided to use the spiralizer to help make my lunch! I had a sweet potato, and on the side was zucchini and carrots mixed with nutritional yeast and hummus:
Deliciousness.
So yesterday, I asked you all to guess who I’d be spending the next few days with.
Well, if you guessed Molly, then you guessed right!!!
My brother and sister-in-law are on a cruise with her family for Thanksgiving and headed out yesterday, so it’s me and Molly until she goes to the “Puppy Hotel” and I fly home for Thanksgiving!
So far we’ve dug some holes, smelled some leaves, ate an evergreen bush and looked absolutely adorable.
It’s going to be a good couple days.
Does anyone have a pet of their own, or enjoy pet-sitting?
Have you ever heard of a spiralizer?
I love golden retrievers. They’re such great dogs!
she is the best! she kept climbing on my lap while I was studying because she wanted attention! too cute.
I would spiralize everything!! Have you tried potatoes and baking them like chips? I wonder how that would turn out..
I haven’t tried that yet! Just got it Saturday afternoon! But I sure will, especially with sweet potatoes!
Glad you enjoyed your spiraliser! I love mine!
I got the idea from you! I was so jealous of yours! Haha
Ohhh I love my spiralizer!! One of my favourite kitchen toys 😀 your raw pasta salad looks gorgeous!!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who’s heard of it!
That spiralizer looks awesome! I am obsessed with cool kitchen gadgets haha. Molly is adorable, dog sitting is the best:)
You should get one! I got it on amazon for $39! Used b-day money… haha.
I’ve had a spiralizer for a couple of years. I’ve never tried it out. There’s a fear factor involved.
you must! it took a couple trials, but was much less frightening than I anticipated!
Just found your blog – looking forward to following! And your dog is soo adorable 🙂 I’ve never tried one of those spiralizer gadgets, they look kinda fun!
I’m glad you stopped by, Clare! And the spiralizer is fun, I can’t wait to experiment more with it!
