Joyce Chen Spiral Slicer Zucchasta! Zucchini Pasta

Posted | 1 comment

We’re calling it Zucchasta! Yeah we know it’s weird, if it makes them eat it I’ll call it whatever they want.

Since doing the Whole Food Detox I’ve really been adding more and more, well, whole foods into our diet here in the little purple house. My oldest doesn’t love past but loves vegetables. Middles loves pasta, not so much vegetables.The littlest doesn’t like anything. I’m not even kidding.

So I figured two out three isn’t so bad so I took a chance. To try to achieve this culinary coup we’ll be using the Joyce Chen Spiral Slicer.

.

Turns out …

they liked it. They didn’t love it. But they’ll definitely eat it again. The Joyce Chen spiral Slicer made it easy.

After slicing it all up I put it in a salad spinner to get some of the excess water out. Then I tossed it with some salt and pepper and popped it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. I just wanted to warm it and soften it up a little bit. Topped it with some warm marinara and we were good to go!

While the spiral slicer is nice, you have to have a certain size and shape zucchini to fit in that thing. It also brings the seeds along with it. You have to pick those out. For the couple of times a month (or more ) I may use this I think it’s a fine little piece of plastic.

Although this might do the job too…and it fits in a drawer ;-)

These few days are the deepest part of the Whole Food Detox. It is the most restrictive and perhaps that why I don’t feel so well today. Just kind of BLERGH.

I had big plans for the week which didn’t work out so well for me today. I’ll try again tomorrow.

I also discovered that I say um, A LOT.

And now I need to go to sleep.

Week 1 of vlogging – Done.

My Confessional – Vlog #4!

Why are you doing a detox? Why? Why? Why?

Well I’m not trying to fit in a bikini is that’s what you’re thinking. Um, no.

I moved upstairs to my new confessional set up. I think you’ll like it. It’s very Real Housewives. No it’s not, really. At all. It’s my bed. That’s all I got. Everyone was yelling downstairs so I had to move.

I don’t want to be vapid, but do I look good?

Hahahaha! Seriously I said that on video. OK maybe not that. The two utterances were spaced out a bit. But that only underlined their ridiculousness. Then to pile on to the ridiculousness I titled the video that. I should get lots of lovely comments about how lovely I am. (sarcasm emoticon)

So today I talk about my piss poor timing for my video adventure, my headache (still), massaging kale, bon bons, what the heck do I talk about, and oh, ‘am I pretty’?

There should be a cute vide here. If not, refresh and like magic it will appear!
