Oodles of Zoodles.

I'm trying to do better this week with healthy eating. Last week was crazy busy and I did not make cooking a priority. There were too many meals that consisted of cereal... or plain spaghetti... or bread. And let's not forget all the jello shots and jungle juice I drank last night. I'm only human, but eating only carbs is really unhealthy. Really. My body is craving vegetables.

What's on the menu this week?

Veggie Stir Fry w/ brown rice
Using up the veggie tray from our Tiki Party Last night. Add some sesame oil, soy sauce, a dash of fish sauce, maybe a dash of mirin. Get crazy. Stir fry is whatever you want it to be! We've got peppers, celery, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower....  it's gunna be good.

ZOODLES! (Zucchini Noodles) with pesto. I'll probably adapt this yummy zucchini noodles recipe. I love the concept of adding lemon juice to pesto to keep it really fresh tasting. I feel like i could eat an enormous bowl of these literal veggie noodles and not feel a single trace of guilt! I don't have a mandoline, but I got a fancy spiralizer for Christmas that makes really it really easy to twist the zucchini into spiraled noodles.

Imitation Crab Salad.... on salad.
So I can't really find an exact recipe for this, but I'm going to adapt this crab salad recipe. I'm thinking maybe replace the celery with green peppers, and omit the roma tomatoes? And instead of putting it in a tomato, just serving it on top of a salad.. OH! or lettuce wraps would be good too.  Anyway - I like the idea of using greek yogurt here with fresh herbs instead of really high fat and calorie options like mayo/sour cream.

I also want to get back to drinking smoothies for breakfast. I go through phases with this - but it's such a great way to get good carbs and veggies into your body in the morning. Plus, putting protein powder in it keeps me full until lunch most days! Fruit + Dark Leafy Greens + Protein Powder. DONE.
My Motto for the week: Make a plan. Do that plan. Be happy.
