{Edgeware Giveaway!} Ode to Zesting and Grating

As a gal who incorporates lemon, ginger and garlic into almost every meal, I was pretty thrilled to discover Edgeware graters and the Better Zester.  Scratch that, I was ecstatic.  From the minute I grated my first ounce of parmigiano reggiano, I was completely sold.  Instantly, my pasta was covered in a snow shower of perfect little swirls of the tangy, salty cheese.  To say that I am completely smitten with Edgeware products would be an understatement.

3 Reasons I Love Edgeware Graters and Zesters:

1. Razor Sharp: Immediately, I noticed how sharp these graters are compared to others. Sharp utensils = happy cook.
2. Brilliant Colors: Yellow, orange, blue and more…. life is too short to work in a black and white kitchen.
3. Sturdy and Strong:  Let’s be real – who hasn’t had the misfortune or working with a flimsy cheese grater in the past?

Giveaway Time! Today I am thrilled to be giving away a beautiful Set of Edgeware Graters valued at over $65.00!  Just think, if you win, you could…

Add Ginger to Smoothies: Store peeled ginger in the freezer and use the Better Zester any time you are making a smoothie.  Ginger is the perfect way to bring out the flavor of blueberries, raspberries or peaches.  Added bonus?  It is a natural digestive aid and holds a whole host of additional health benefits.  Try my Strawberry Ginger Smoothie to get started.

Parmigiano Reggiano – Good to the Last Ounce: If you think parmesan cheese comes in a green plastic container, skip this section. If you know that parmigiano reggiano is the undisputable King of all Cheeses, then you know that it is a bit pricey.  By using the Better Zester instead of a traditional cheese grater, the same amount of cheese will look twice as big thanks for the light and fluffy swirls of cheesey goodness that result.  Added bonus? Less cheese needed = less calories consumed. You’re welcome.  Case in point? Stuffed Peppers with Beef and Bulgur Wheat

Garlic, Garlic and More Garlic: My family is Middle Eastern and my husband is Italian so, needless to say, garlic is coming out of our pours.  I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, the reason my food tastes so good is because I use fresh garlic. And lots of it.  I love it roasted, I love it in a sauce and it tastes great in chili. But, if you really want to know the truth, I prefer it raw. I also happen to believe that regular consumption of raw garlic is the reason my Great Aunt Vieve lived a long and healthy life. Don’t worry, we don’t do garlic shooters or anything. We simply grate it into our salad every night with fresh lemon juice and olive oil.  (PS: Don’t forget to zest the lemon for extra flavor.)
