With two small children who enjoy vegetables in many ways, I realize I am a lucky mom. I know there are many children out there (not anyone's fault) that have a real aversion to certain types and colors of vegetables. I have been enjoying my new gadget (below) World Cuisine spiral slicer! While this may seem weird to post on my DeMarle at Home blog, they actually do work well together. This creates such an awesome spiral noodle shape it may actually have your kids begging for seconds. I have sliced 3 medium zucchini's on this plate (side dish for a family of 4). Zucchini is a great vegetable for kids because it absorbs the flavors you put into it possibly disguising its relation to a veggie! A simple version to make is use the large round flexipan with hexagon cover and a tiny bit of water to steam the zucchini for a couple minutes in the microwave. Uncover carefully! Add butter, salt and pepper and good quality parmesan cheese. YUM!!!
