![]() ![]() These butternut squash noodles with tahini sauce are the perfect way to introduce yourself to the world of spiralized vegetables. I have an old recipe that I realized I never shared with you all and it occurred to me that it was the perfect opportunity to convert it using the spiralizer. But I’m finding that my spiralizer does indeed deserve a space on my shelves and it makes it easy to have a ton of vegetables and cut my prep time in half. Asparagus steamers, mini pie makers, corn strippers, avocado slicers, I just don’t have room in my kitchen for things that only have one use. ![]() I will start by saying that I don’t like to buy a ton of kitchen gadgets with limited uses. There are a ton of different models on the market but I’ve been really happy with the Paderno and it will only set you back about $30.00. One of my favorite all time recipes includes vegetable noodles but I must admit I haven’t played with it much until now. I know that I haven’t really jumped on the zoodle bandwagon much but I do own a Paderno Spiralizer and I do use it quite often. If I can’t get them to give up sugar, I can at least try to get them to eat a few vegetables, something else they aren’t really fond of. I think if I presented a meal of brownies, ice cream and milkshakes the only question I would get is why have I waited so long to come up with this idea? These days if I’m going to consume it, I try to at least prepare it myself so I can control the ingredients but my boys live for candy, and sugary treats. Sugar is a huge problem for us, as in we can never get enough. I want to be honest with you all and say that my diet is not perfect and I am always trying to find a balance in what I eat. In a perfect world, we would all eat the same thing, consume whole unprocessed foods and eat for our health. I get frustrated some days accommodating three different palates, and now that we’ve added food allergies, it’s downright dismal planning dinner. Both my husband and son are not fans of vegetables, so about 95% of everything you see here is not something they want to see on their plates. We are still struggling with food sensitivities, allergies and just health problems in general so I’ve been trying to come up with more dishes that we can all eat together. ![]()
