SEXY SPIRALIZER GIVEAWAY!

I am so thrilled to announce the SEXY SPIRALIZER GIVEAWAY!!! The amazing and super sexy people at CSN Stores are helping me give away a Paderno World Cuisine Spiral Slicer! You can check out their other sites, Cookware.com and AllBarStools.com. Anyway, CSN peeps were so generous as to send me one to test out and let me tell you guys, it is so much fun!


Things I love about the Paderno:
  • Has 3 blades for 3 different slices - noodle spirals, skinny noodle spirals, and thick circles
  • So easy to use.
  • Even easier to clean! It's a 1-2-3 wipedown and you're done.
  • Blades slide in and out with storage a the bottom of the unit. The top section slides out for easy cleaning as well.
  • As you spin, the small piece on the blade actually cores the fruit or veggie. You don't even have to core your apple, it does it for you!
  • JUST SO MUCH FUN!!! Spice up your food by making it a different shape. Who knew?!

Spiralizers have become really fun and famous on the blogs lately. They are a great tool to use for raw cuisine -- zucchini noodles, anyone? But they are also great for spiraling your fruits and veggies into yummy cooked meals as well! Since this is my own first experience with a spiral slicer, I am going to be experimenting all week and posting!


So how do you enter? I'm gonna make it super easy for you. Every day this week, Sunday through Saturday, just leave a comment on my posts. You can leave one every day for a total of 7 chances to win. That's it! I'll ask a question for some prompts, but feel free to comment on anything! One lucky winner will receive the Paderno Spiral Slicer from CSN Stores and will be announced Sunday. Please make sure your e-mail is somehow linked to or typed in to your comment.

So...what is the first thing you would spiralize? Find out what I did with that apple tomorrow!

This is so great, thanks! :) I would be spiralizing veggie noodles like crazy, especially during the summer! Of course I'd start with zucchini though.

Potato or sweet potato for cury fries! Yum!

HeyitsBeth said...

As much as everyone is going crazy for zucchini, I think I'd like to try the apple cuz you made it look so cool!

Jennie {in Wonderland} said...

I have always wanted to try a spiralizer! I think the first thing I would do is probably spiralize a sweet potato to make baked fries... I saw Gina @ fitnessista do it once and it looked so yummy!

I would also love to spiralize fruit to throw in to soy yogurt... or even pancakes maybe?? So many possibilities!

Jess - The Domestic Vegan said...

That is a great idea to spiralize the apple! I've only done veggies with my spiralizer. (I have this same one & absolutely LOVE IT, but I'm entering, anyway, so I can give this as a gift to a friend if I win. I assume that's cool?) :)

I'd spiralize zucchini noodles first because those rule. Carrots are also great!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Heather Iacobacci-Miller said...

Awesome! I didn't ever really think I'd want a spiralizer, but I seriously do now since I started making "veggie" pastas. My first use would be zucchini then Japanese eggplant (sort of a toss up)!

Veg is Sexy said...

Great ideas so far!

YES, you can enter if you already own a spiralizer. You can keep this one if you like it better, give it as a gift, etc.

Wehaf said...

I would spiralize apples in thick spirals - it would make apple pies really easy! After that the sky's the limit...

Tiffany said...

How fun! I've been curious about raw pasta, so I'd wanna make summer squash spirals for that. But then again, I'm always down for curly fries (love me some potatoes). :)

I think I would spiralize some zucchini and definitely an apple for a delicious salad. I would pretty much try to spiralize anything in my veggie drawer in the fridge, however ;) It looks like so much fun! Thank you for this giveaway!

Awesome giveaway! I'd spiralize zucchini for raw pasta. Currently, I have to use my stupid old vegetable peeler for raw noodles, but it only makes wide fettucine noodles. I want skinny noodles!

Abby said...

I have been looking for a Spiralizer of late; how nice it would be to WIN one.

The first thing I'd spiralize would be the requisite zucchini: gotta love those raw spaghettis!

Jess - The Domestic Vegan said...

Here's my entry for today! :)

I'd definitely get around to the zucchini before long, but the FIRST thing I want to spiralize is some jicama!

tori said...

The first thing I would spiralize would be zucchini for some raw pasta :)

The Blissful Chef said...

Being a chef this is one of the few tools I have left to purchase. It would be SO much fun to make pasta out of every vegetable imaginable. Have you tried butternut squash or would that be too fibrous? Retweeted too :)

It would have to be sweet potato.

On second thought, I might spiralize some beets. I was in my thirties before I realized beets didn't "grow" in cans & now I'm a big fan of fresh beets in salads.

Sweet @ Adventures in Veg said...

Oh wow! I don't know if I can enter this as I live in Ireland, but I've always wanted to try a spiralizer (never seen one here) and if I was lucky enough to win one I'd spiralize courgette (zucchini) for pasta, and then apples and pears for dessert! Yum!
