I remember you previously though about taking time off the blog if not enough people were reading. No way! This site is fantastic! I plan to use it the next time I’m I’m in the kitchen. You have lots of great ideas on here.

I bought my “spiraliser” on the net and it is fabulous – zucchini noodles rock! A sauce recipe I was given is to soak 1 cup cashews for a few hours, then throw them in the food processor with a yellow capsicum and some olive oil, then maybe some garlic, sea salt and lemon juice to taste.

In the USA we had spagetti squash as a pasta substitute. I baked it upside down on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for and hour or until it dimples when pushed on or starts to get a few brown spots on the skin. (Some people put water in the pan but we found it unnecessary and liked it better without.) After it is baked you scoop out the seeds and rake the inside of the squash with a fork. Shreds of squash come out just like the size of spagetti. My older kids and I liked it better than the real pasta and tastes great with spagetti and meatball sauce on it. I was starting to experiment with other ways of eating it when we moved but didn’t get very far. I had not found it in Australia after moving there………and we were really missing it. Now that we are in New Zealand I have not found it here either. We plan to grow our own as soon as we can………I hope they have the seeds for it here.

Have you tried using spaghetti squash – that’s meant to be lowish in carb. I can’t find any. The zucchini is a good idea just got to get a good implement to do the thin strips. The vegie peeler tends to make the strips thicker.
