As many of you know, I frequent Trader Joe’s weekly, without fail. I love that place. Some of you have literally asked me if I am a rep, or if I get paid by them! (By the way, I am not and do not!)
So when I find new discoveries it is my biggest pleasure to share them with you. This past weekend I went on my weekly shopping trip and discovered 3 new foods that get the thumbs up from me AND my family!

When it comes to healthy eating, my motto is eat this, not don’t eat that.
Raise your hand if you know what the “this” is??
Yes, smarty pants! It’s VEGETABLES! By now I’m sure you guys know I’m completely obsessed with getting enough vegetables into my diet. Most Americans don’t even come CLOSE to the ideal amount of vegetables that need to be consumed in a day – anywhere between 6 1/2 and 13 1/2 CUPS!

My good friend introduced me to an amazing app called Fooducate.
Have you heard of it?
Basically you can scan an item at the store (or type it into the website) and the app responds with a grade in terms of how healthy the food is. You are also given reasons why certain foods are not healthy.
For those of you who have been following my blog for some time, you know I am obsessed with the Veggetti. For those of you who are new to the blog, you can learn all about the Veggetti and why I love it here. And here is another post with a Veggetti recipe.
I swear I am not a Veggetti rep. It’s just that it has really opened up my world to healthy recipes with zucchini spaghetti and I truly want to share the love.
SOOO….I am giving away FIVE Veggetti’s! Yup! 5 lucky winners will win the best kitchen tool ever.
It’s hard to believe that a kitchen gadget the the size of my hand could open up a whole new world.
It’s called a Veggetti and it turns vegetables into spaghetti! There are different companies that make this type of tool, but I like the Veggetti because it is small and compact and doesn’t take up any precious counter space. (Please note: I am not a rep for The Veggetti and do not make any money if you buy one. I just freakin’ love it!)
So far I’ve used it with zucchini and squash and let me tell you – they both taste SO MUCH better when transformed into spaghetti!
