I’ve officially had zoodles every day for the last 4 days in a row. I’m zoodle obsessed!
If you don’t know what a zoodle is, I’m here to help. A zoodle is made from zucchini. You “spiralize” the zucchini into long thin strips (like noodles), and BAM you have yourself a “zoodle”!
You can mix them into anything under the sun or pile them high on a plate and pair them with a large glass of wine :)
The boyfriend always comes to me with new meal requests, this time it was for cauliflower rice (aka “cauli rice”).
I don’t know much about the paleo diet but I do know I could never follow it (I love bread, milk, and wine WAY too much!) That doesn’t mean paleo dishes aren’t delicious though, like this dish!
I’m all about simple recipes, which you probably know by now, and I try to be a healthy eater. I have my slip-ups though, like today when I ate a whole Hershey’s bar… but I digress.
I’ve only recently discovered coconut rice. I was out to dinner with the boyfriend when the waiter offered up white or coconut rice with his order. I chimed in and proclaimed he would LOVE the coconut rice (aka I wanted to try it).
This recipe calls for only three ingredients and yields a heck of a lot of tasty sweet potato fries!
I kid you not, during this meal I actually patted myself on the back because of how darn good this chicken was! It was one of the easiest recipes in the world, only required four ingredients, and took 3 minutes of prep time.
The result was a moist, flavorful feast! No joke, I’m making this again this week.
The other night the boyfriend was on a work call that was taking wayyy too long for my liking. As I fiddled around in the kitchen, cleaning up from dinner and giving him the evil-eye to wrap up the call, I got an urge to cook something.
I recently accepted avocados into my life. For some reason I never really liked them, or maybe I just never really tried them.
But a few months ago I bought one at the grocery store (I’m an impulse shopper), and after a day or two of staring at it, I decided I would do the grown-up thing and give it a true shot.
On a rainy Sunday night, the last thing I wanted to do was go to the grocery store. So I began my frantic search through the kitchen cabinets and fridge to see what I could mix together to form some sort of dinner.
A can of black beans come to the rescue! Looks like it will be black bean burgers for dinner.
Just like most people, I eat healthier when I keep healthy foods in my home. We all know that you can’t just survive on fruits and veggies (we all need a little candy stash somewhere in our home, just in case), but the healthier foods you have on hand, the more likely you will be to eat them.
Here are a few go-to items to always stock your fridge and pantry with. These will help you stay on track and not let mindless snacking (one of my biggest weaknesses) or unhealthy dinner options ruin your eating pattern.
It’s easy to get caught in a trend of eating out for dinner, especially when you have so many restaurants within walking distance of your apartment. Though, lately I’d been craving a delicious home cooked meal.
So I did what any 20-something girl living on her own would do, I called my mommy for guidance. She gave me a simple recipe and I was off to the grocery store in search of turkey burger ingredients!
