new toy for zucchini
« on: September 22, 2011, 03:48:51 PM »
I ordered this "new toy" from Amazon and it came yesterday.  I had to get it cleaned up and today I bought some zucchini to play with LOL.   It has 3 blades; shredder, chipper and slicer.  It's made by Paderno and called a spiral vegetable slicer.  I made this plate in about 3 minutes, works great.  Guess what we're having for dinner!

I was surprised at how easy it is to use, it will probably stain quickly since it's plastic except for the blades, but if it works and I know it's clean....then cool.  This pic is somewhat blurry.

Interesting gadget! :)

I'll be interested to see how durable it is.

Jo, you were definitely right.  I fixed the spaghetti zucchini with alfredo sauce, chicken and broccoli.  It was a little higher in carbs than I normally eat but  hubby said "you have outdone yourself tonight"  :D  I fixed individual dishes so I could track my carbs easier.  I used:

1 cup spaghetti zucchini    3 carbs
1/4 cup alfredo sauce      3 carbs
1/4 cup broccoli      1 carb
4 oz cooked chicken  0 carb
2 Tbl of shredded parmesan/romano cheese
1 Tbl of butter
sprinkle of onion powder and pepper

I sprayed a baking dish with cooking spray.  I put the zucchini in first and put the cheese on top of it, then put in the chicken and broccoli, onion and pepper; then covered with the alfredo sauce and butter.  I baked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

We also had a small salad which I counted another 3 carbs.  So, like I said, it was a little more than I like to eat for dinner but absolutely delish   :P   Luckily I had a zero carb day until we ate this so I was still under 15 for the day.

After eating this it gave me an idea to use the alfredo sauce and broccoli with cheese to make a soup when it starts getting cool around here.  I would still add the chicken, just leave off the zucchini.
