When it comes to salads the lettuce/carrots/a bit of dressing combo just doesn't cut it for me- especially in summer when you can truly ‘eat the rainbow’ with the abundance of gorgeous, fresh produce around. So with a fridge of summer’s bounty, an empty stomach, and a box with a shiny new spiralizer attachment in it I couldn’t help but play with my food. And thus, the Spiralized Summer Salad was born! This is one of those ‘chuck everything in the fridge into a bowl’ moments that turn out ... Read More about Spiralized Summer Salad

Vitamix anyone? So when I saw that this week’s ingredient for Better With Veggies Meatless Monday A-Z Challenge was vodka, my mind immediately flew to ‘spiralizer’ (I’m odd, I know). If you don't know, a spiralizer is a machine that slices ribbons from vegetables in a fluid motion, and turns out a product ...
