Don't you just love new kitchen gadgets!  Today, I purchased the "As Seen on TV" Veggetti.  It cuts vegetables, such as zucchini and summer squash, like spaghetti.  Aside from the name being a little weird, it's an awesome addition to my kitchen tools.  It was easy to use and dinner was delicious!  

Garlic Lemon Alfredo Zucchini:

3-4 medium zucchini
2T butter
1/2 onion chopped
salt
pepper
spice mix
1/4 lemon
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce

After using the Veggetti to cut the zucchini, allow the zucchini to drain in a colander or squeeze some of the excess water out in a clean towel or paper towels. On med/hi heat melt butter, add zucchini and saute about 5 minutes. Add onion and seasonings and saute a few minutes longer, until desired tenderness. Finally squeeze with lemon and toss in Alfredo sauce. serves 2-4 depending on portion sizes. I topped mine with oven fried chicken. Enjoy!

Holidays are the perfect time for this delicious maple glazed ham recipe.  The first time I made it, I couldn't go into the kitchen without eating a little piece.  Try it for your family.  Enjoy!
