I've been using a manual spiralizer for about a year, and splashed out on an upgrade. I thought of it as a little treat for losing my first 7lbs.
Have you ever heard of courgette? Spiralizer courgette to replace spaghetti in a bolognese! Spiralizer is not only fun to do, but the foods also then cook so !much quicker too. New upgrade is arriving on Monday 🙂
Hi Piglet,
Lovely that you've treated yourself to an upgraded spiraliser, and hope you enjoy using it. Yes, definitely heard of courgettes - they are lovely, I had some in my vegetable bake tonight. I'm sure it will make a lovely version of spaghetti - I've never tried spiralising, but I did buy some shop bought butternut squash that had been ready-spiralised once. 
Not long till you'll receive your new one, and I bet you'll have fun when it arrives! Lots of delicious meals, and hope you post a photo of one of your creations - it would be great to see it!

I grate courgettes and put them in everything! Have fun with your new gadget!
That should have said 'courgetti'.
There is an app:Morphy Richards Cook and Create (think that's it) that has some lovely recipes on it, and you can take a photo of your finished creation to add to the recipe page. I will be trying out some of their recipes in the near future.
I make courgetti a lot - it's how I got my 7 year old to enjoy courgettes! Enjoy!
Let us know how you get on. I have a manual one - I thought I would use it more than I actually do but I tend to forget it's there. I'm not sure I have the space for an electric one - my husband bought a deep fat fryer this week - I'm sure that'll help!
Hi I buy boodles (butternut squash spaghetti) all the time. Mainly as a replacement for spaghetti but also as a extra in stir fry dishes. Love courgettes but not enjoyed them much sprialized. Not really got much room in my kitchen for gadgets but I guess it would be cheaper in the long run if I could make my own. Hope you enjoy using your new electric machine, I should imagine it will be so much easier than a manual one as butternut squash is such a hard vegetable when raw
Cristalmundo, you have made me LOL! Hmm, a deep-fry fryer and a diet are not friendly companions.
I will definitely let you know how it goes. I am working extra-long hours next week (stock-take), so there won't be MUCH cooking being done unfortunately.
If I can work out how to upload photos, I will do that too...just don't hold your breath!
That is wonderful a reward for you weight loss. I love my spiralizer use it all the time may be a good idea with the fall and winter veggie's to buy and electric. My deep fat fry has long been gone so also LOL at Criistalmundo, maybe husband is a fisherman! I have room or I would make space for an electric one love the the fresh taste of them spiraled. So many variations in cooking.
is building muscle the best way to keep the fat off?
biting the bullet all the way to the top of the hill!

Liquid meals do it for me
