      I have been looking for a vegetable spiralizer for a very long time. I bought one that does not work very well and produces more waste than spiral veggies. I am big into making unique salads and believe the spiralizer would open a new world of meals for me.
      I have discovered and joined RecipeLion today and I am very interested in seeing what your site is like as I love to cook and play with food.

    There are so many options with this tool! Zucchini cold or cooked of course, Apples to make a flavorful salad or slaw, home made butterfly chips from potatoes sounds like a good idea as well. I think I would try something with zucchini as a type of chip and make it baked in the oven so it would be healthier than frying. I have always wanted one of these tools!

I found a great recipe for squash spaghetti from The Biggest Loser a few seasons back and have been wanting to try it ever since, but I am lousy at cutting up fruits and vegetables so if I attempted to cut the squash on my own chances are really good that there wouldn’t be enough left for the dish.
