My zucchini doesn't get watery and I slice up the whole zucchini w/seeds and all. Are you using a lot of salt? Or cooking it too much in advance? I cook it right before it will go on the plate.

Nurse Monkey, my "raw" friend told me about a thing called a spiral veggie cutter... raw foodies use it for guess what?? PASTA-like dishes. The strands come out much longer because it cuts the zuc in a spiral. My "raw" friend is experimenting, not all raw yet and she blanched her spiral cut zuc and said it came out like pasta! Now I want a spiral cutter!!!!

I can't post the link (site sells stuff) but if you google World Cuisine Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer you will see what I mean.

Yum! That looks good, Mary. I'll have to try it. I have a spirooli (spiral cutter I bought off of ebay) somewhere in my kitchen. I have to hunt it down. Used to make cheesy curly fries w/it. It might be inside my oven. LOL. (I use that for storage, too!)

Just had my first chicken cutlets 'breaded' in pork rinds, ground in the food processor with Italian seasoning, pepper and garlic powder. Fried them in olive oil and they came out perfect and I've just realized that I *never* have to use bread crumbs again. THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER.

(In Brooklyn, NY *everything* is breaded in Italian bread crumbs and fried. The thought of never having breaded chicken cutlets again was always a major hurdle. No more.

Had the South Beach 'mashed potatoes' on the side - cauliflower florets with butter, cream, sour cream and a bit of ricotta and 'mashed' in the food processor. *smacks lips*

hehehe actually it was just renamed, from "spirooli" to a much more intuitive, descriptive name. I mean, it is a spiral cutter for veggies, why not call it that??? hehehe I guess "spirooli" is just a lot more fun to say

Mary, that looks so yummy. Sorry I have been missing but been busy getting my stuff ready to enter in our Fair this week. I did make the most delish turkey breast. They were on sale at Safe-way for $0.99 a lb. I washed it, cut off the bones so only the breast was left, ( saved bones etc to make broth ) sprinkled the breast with a mix of seasoning and herbs. Put 2 upside down custard cups in bottom of Crockpot breast on top of that to keep out of juices and cooked on low for 10 hrs. It was sooo moist and yummy. Hubby said now we wont have to cook a big turkey anymore, he loved it. Had cauliflower mash with it. But forgot to take pictures, sorry.

Actually, I just sprinkle flax on top of the melting cheese. You can make it in the microwave too. Just quarter a slice of cheese, place on a plate far enough away so that when it spreads as it melts it still stays in individual peices, and place some ground flax on top. microwave for 1 and a half mins.

You can also search for flax crackers, there are different recipes. This one is just ultra-easy.

I just tried the easy flax crackers. After I quartered the cheese, I sprayed it with some olive oil spray and then dunked it in the flax. I only microwaved for 1 minute. It was delicious. Thanks.
