Cool Gadgets

Cool Gadgets

I must confess, I’m a gadget girl.  Whatever the latest kitchen gadgets are, I have to have them.  Maybe that is why I have a cabinet and a drawer full of items I rarely use.  But there are a few I use consistently and they help me stay on track.

Here are a few of my favorites:


The palm of your hand; our God given tools!  When measuring protein, it should be  a 3-4 oz serving; the size of the palm of your hand minus your fingers.



3 oz portion minus the fingers




Measuring Cups and teaspoons:


When measuring grains, fruit and vegetables.




Salad Spinner

Best tool for creating crisp salad greens for up to a week!




Vegetti




This has become my favorite tool since beginning this journey!  It creates noodles out of zucchini or squash which become "ZOODLES" ! Once you saute them in a little olive oil, just add your favorite spaghetti or Alfredo sauce with your favorite protein to create a super easy and quick meal. Saves a ton of calories and carbohydrates not to mention it taste delicious!




Oodles of Zoodles
