I finally tried out my Veggetti last night. I bought the thing a couple of months ago on a whim. It was at the checkout counter and it just ended up in my cart. Its been sitting on my kitchen counter in the "gadget corner" ever since.

So, as I said, I decided to try it out. Mind you, I went into this experiment with low expectations. I really love squash of all types. Particularly zucchini and summer yellow squash. However, we've all been down that "it tastes just like the original ..." road before. Like Boca Burgers, I enjoy eating them, but they don't taste like hamburgers, they taste like a good veggie burger.

So I was completely surprised by the ease of use of this device, the speed at which I can cook the noodles, and most of all, the fact that it truly tastes like pasta noodles.

Just like the TV commercials show, you stick the zucchini into the end of the gadget and turn. Noodles stream out. Just cut them off every now and then to get the length of noodle you like. When you're done, pop the noodles into a microwave in a bowl for 2 minutes. Drain and serve.

I put a 1/2 cup of reasonably low carb canned pasta sauce and some cooked ground turkey over the noodles. It was really tasty and, as I said, tasted just like pasta noodles. I'll definitely keep this thing handy and I'll be using it on a regular basis.

I hope all y'all have a great week. I hope that you make great progress toward your goals. Remember to enjoy your life. We only pass through here once, and we need to make the most of the time we have.
