Chicken Parmesan With Spicy Zoodles

May 26, 2016

We’ve all been there- you’re craving something tasty, but nothing too unhealthy to make you feel like you’ve gained 10 pounds. You want something home cooked, but nothing that will take four hours to make or involve serious skill. The answer to your hunger?ย Zoodles. Zoodles: otherwise known as spiralizedย zucchini, are taking over the foodie world. Zucchini noodles, get it? Okay moving on… they’re a fresh, veggie alternative to pasta, that when sautรฉed and prepared accordingly, can be seriously tasty.

Now I know some of you are already reading this post thinking “I don’t have a clue how to spiralize a zucchini, nor do I want to take the time to do so”. Well, friend, you don’t have to, because you can buy zoodles. Whole Foods (and Heinens if you’re in the CLE/CHI area) sells pre-packaged fresh zoodles in their prepared produce section. (Look for green squiggly noodles) I’d bet if you ventured into your local grocery store, chances are you’d find some zoodles. So, without further adieu, let’s get to making some chicken parmesan and spicy zoodles. Gluten free, of course! Continue Reading

Healthy Meal Prep For Beginners

June 8, 2015

I’d love to say I’m one of those girls, you know her: the one who walks into the office with her green smoothie having already worked out. The girl who prepped her meals for the week on Sunday, but still slept in and made it to hot yoga. I’ve been traveling back and forth a lot in the past few weeks, which means ย I’ve been coming home later than usual,ย cooking sporadically and usually forgoing protein at dinner for the sake of time and hunger.

Knowing that cooking for two is much much easier than cooking for one, Brett and I decided to end the madness and try something new this weekend. ย We hopped in the car, headed to Costco, and went in search of ingredients we could use in our first ever meal prep… have a look at what became of it!ย  Continue Reading
