I'll Tell You What You Can Do With Your Zucchini

Way back in the 1970s my mom used to make me a vegetable plate including things like raw zucchini & raw cauliflower. Now I have fond memories of eating raw vegetables. So I say: find a way to make raw vegetables for your children and chances are they will (at some point) have happy memories of eating vegetables.

Since I was first diagnosed with gout I've been searching for new ways to make non-meats interesting. I remembered that I also used to have Mrs. Dash on my zucchini instead of salt and I learned to like that combination, too. I really started eating more salt because of my wife who loves it. She recently found out that she should cut down so we are back where I started.

There was no Mrs. Dash in the house and I was hungry so I got one of the organic zucchinis from Trader Joe's and added turmeric, cumin and cinnamon and about a dozen and a half Trader Joe's cashews. Because I haven't used the cinnamon in a while I forgot how fast it comes out. I guess the cinnamon was about 50% of the spice mixture, turmeric 35% and cumin 15%. I sliced the zucchini thinly and I would guess there were 40 pieces. I ate it with my fingers and it was good. Gently spiced. How much? A pinch or two, I guess, as I didn't measure. You can experiment just like I did. I originally planned on adding cayenne pepper and couldn't find it. So it had less kick than I'm used to, but good all the same. I really think I can taste the difference using organic zucchini and the cashews are a personal favorite.

If you really like cashews, try eating four slices with a cashew a couple times, then 3 slices, then 2, then 1 and eventually you should be eating 2 cashews with one zucchini slice for your last 4 or 5 slices. That was lunch - along with one Isagenix Natural Accelerator. Keep in mind that I'm a big man and I'm satisfied because of being on Isagenix products. In a couple hours I'll have a shake and tomorrow or the next day I expect that I will be at my lowest weight since I started almost two weeks ago.

And THAT'S what you can do with your zucchini!
