Zoodles and Sun-dried Tomato Cream GF DF

February 19, 2019 by Julie Ann Leave a Comment

Spiralized zucchini, a.k.a “zoodles”, are an excellent healthy gluten-free swap for traditional wheat pasta noodles. Simmer them in this dairy-free sun-dried tomato cream sauce, and you’ve got one savory satisfying dish. Zoodles and Sun-dried Tomato Cream is the healthy fettuccine alfredo swap, you never knew you needed in your life.

Zoodles taste amazing, cook up in just minutes, and are a delicious way to spike a dish with veggies. With all the deliciousness of a hearty helping of pasta, but only about 1/5th the calories and 1/6th of the carbs in comparison to pasta.

Orange zest biscuits just out of the oven, my favo Orange zest biscuits just out of the oven, my favorite @vancefamilysoycandles Mt Hood Forest candle filling the room with a cozy cabin vibe as I day dream over my new A-Frame book @modernaframe and watch these green onions grow. Re-grow food scraps, a fun little indoor project for these cold days!  Super satisfying for the Littles to watch too as these green onions grow like an inch overnight 🥳 #regrowveggies #cozysundaymorning #cabindreams
I had bananas smashed in a bowl for a Maple Cinnam I had bananas smashed in a bowl for a Maple Cinnamon Banana bread and some bone broth doing it’s magic in the Instant Pot.  There was slime on the kitchen counter, a princess tent in the hallway, school work and bills on the table and miscellaneous stuffed animals and stacking toys under my feet at every step.  The Husband mentions, “It’s gana be 70s and off shore at the beach. Adventure?” So, while everyone was stockpiling for this years annual Wintery Storm, I closed up my kitchen projects, packed a cooler, pack’n play, swimsuits, sand toys, and 2 days worth of clothes.  We escaped, headed South for warmer weather to an island, with palm trees and a private heated pool.  The ocean just over the sand dune… My new favorite secret place 💕 #tothebeach
