Kitchen Supreme Spiralizer Review! #spiralizer
I love kitchen tools! I collect them -- although -- I don't always use them! However, I recently was given the opportunity to review the new Spiral Vegetable Slicer for Healthy Salads/Pasta.
This is a kitchen tool I WILL use. I love it already.
Getting Mike to eat veggies is like pulling teeth. He resists at every turn. Well... I got him last night. We made spirals out of zucchini and I added them to the sauce for the spaghetti. He ate it up! He loved it!
YES!
I seriously didn't know what to expect when the package arrived. I imagined a large, bulky, heavy piece of equipment. Not so! Happy surprise: It's small, light weight, easily managed. It needs no assembly.
The Kitchen Supreme Spiralizer fits into my kitchen drawer easily. It comes with a cleaning brush for the hard to reach inside.
*The sharp blades are inside. Use caution and use the brush to clean them!*
Just a quick brush or two, rinse well, dry, and tuck it neatly into it's nylon pouch!
Even though it's rather small in size, it's still big enough to handle fairly large veggies: zucchini, squash, carrots, even a quartered eggplant! I can't wait to grab a few potatoes and make curly fries with it (They are Mike's favourite!)
This is a product I highly recommend! It will be a much-used, much-loved addition to your kitchen essentials.
You may purchase the Kitchen Supreme Spiralizer from Amazon.com -- AVG: $15.84. That is a marvelous bargain!

Spark People and me... a continuing journey.
I'm overweight. I am... obese.
I hate saying that... hate admitting it... hate making it real. But it's true... it real... and it is, at this moment, what I am.
It's been this way for quite a long time. I can even pinpoint exactly when it began: March 1991. At that time... I stood 5' 3" and weighed 135 pounds. And now... it's 250+. No one is to blame -- but me.
I lost my Aunt Louise. She had been my best friend, running buddy, and co-conspirator all of my life. And in March of 1991... she slipped away from me, ravaged by COPD and an addiction to cigarettes as powerful and debilitating as an addiction to heroin.
I took comfort in food. I ate to forget and I ate to hide myself away from the pain. If I had known I was Clinically Depressed, I might've sought a doctor. But I found solace in food. By the time I was 7 months pregnant, I weighed 200 pounds. That was 1992.
In the weeks just before I gave birth, I lost my Pop. In August of 1994, I lost my Nanie.
In all, I lost 27 family members in less than three years. I just kept on eating. Gaining and eating... sometimes, I would only eat once a day... but that's WORSE than eating three times a day!
Finally, in April 2009, I decided enough was more than enough. I looked around for free weight loss programs on-line. I found Spark People.
In the year that I followed the Spark People program, I lost 66 pounds. Oh, I was within reach of my goals. But I just stopped. Fear of success? Laziness? Stupidity? I don't know. I stopped and haven't really gone back.
Until now.
I am not going to allow food and depression control me. I am 53 years old and this is MY life and my time to shine.
If you want to lose weight, get healthier, maintain your weight, learn to eat a better diet, etc. then Spark People may be for you! You can track your nutrition, weight loss, fitness... you can do that at Spark People!
Blogs, forums, trivia, polls... It's all there!
I have a Team that I created several years ago: Team Stitchaway where you meet others, post, talk about anything.
I hope you'll join me at Spark People and start your journey on the road to a healthier you!
