I did it! I jumped on the spiral veggie bandwagon and I am very happy I did. These veggies are not only fun to eat, they are certainly fun to make. My husband joined me with this one and the truth I think he had more fun than I did.

I have a the Spiralizer attachment for my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer, but if you are trying these for the first time, you can buy an inexpensive one for about $1o. If you have a Stand Mixer and can make the investment, it’s well worth it. It’s easy to set up and you have spiral anything in minutes.
