Gadget: Veggetti (Vegetable Spiralizer)

This “As Seen on TV” gadget WORKS. I sauteed some cloves of garlic in olive oil and then added the zucchini strands. In a few minutes I had the best non-pasta I’ve ever had. I honestly prefer it to spaghetti. Serve with your favorite sauce. My first attempt at using this is pictured above. This thing is FUN. Now, it’s a cone of knives, so don’t stick your hand in it…and use a fork to twirl the veggies when they get small. It is much easier than the top that comes with it.

Roasted California Garlic Olive Oil

Dove olive oils are one of my favorite ingredients. I read the book Extra Virginity and learned about all the different grades of olive oils – which sent me on an online scavenger hunt for a better grade of ingredient.

This oil had SO MUCH FLAVOR it takes any dish from bland to sha-zam. I use other of their flavors, but this is the one I order over & over again. It goes with almost everything!

This blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder and lemon peel is one of my favorite go-to spice blends for chicken, fish and vegetables. I especially love it on kale, spinach, collards & brussel sprouts.

The best sesame oil I have found. Makes a great dressing for a Chinese Chicken Salad. Adds full flavor to stir fry dishes. I even add a splash to my ramen noodles!

My favorite salt-free Italian seasoning blend. A mix of California basil, Turkish oregano, French thyme and minced garlic. Great for sauces and for including in salad dressings.
