When life hands you CUCUMBERS...

Hey fellow fitfam foodies and healthy food lovers.

There's more to life than just chewing your cucumbers or tossing 'em in salads. COME ON!
I mean, that's just plain boring.

We should realize that the same way we make lemonades from lemons, there's more to cucumbers than meets the eyes.

Why not make yourself a CUCUMBER BOAT.
Trust me, it's as simple as it looks.
All you need do is -

  • Cut your cucumber , length wise.
  • Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds (I ate the seeds).
  • Stuff your cucumber with any filling of your choice, like stir fry, sauteed veggies, guacamole etc.
  • VOILA!!! Cucumber boat ready!







OR treat yourself to some CUCUMBER-GETTI (as christened by me, lol)

For this you will need a Julienne cutter, to get your cucumber in thin strip shapes.

I wanted my cucumber-getti dry and crisp, so I made sure while peeling the cucumber I left out the seeds.

The cucumber-getti is ready once you are done peeling.

Serve it with your favorite sauce.

Eazy-peazy!







Let's just say I was having a "noodlized" time here... made me some CUCUMBER NOODLES and other options while meal prepping









You see there's more to CUCUMBERS?!

I dare you to up your CUCUMBER game. *winks*

EXTRA INFORMATION - This is what a Julienne cutter looks like.

Be careful not to mistake it for a Potato peeler. The difference here is the teeth.
