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.

Somewhere down a winding road. Off to the right, Somewhere down a winding road.  Off to the right, then the left, the forest opens up to a dreary wet sky. A fast, stormy river swiftly moves past us, snatching up bits of forest in it wake, and taking them on its expedition of mystery.  Up the embankment we stumble upon a tiny playhouse. Thick moss covering its roof, it almost blends right into the space it sits. Untouched for some time, like a fairytale. #pnwdream #intotheforest
What’s the oddest thing you’ve packed for a ro What’s the oddest thing you’ve packed for a road trip? Me? It was either be a large poster board of animals (the baby just loves it), or a gang of masks (oh wait that’s totally normal today), sourdough starter + pre-weight bags of multiple flours for feeding and baking, or maybe it was a bag of seeds and a glass quart size mason jar.  Yeah, packing seeds might take the win here, but look at how well they did with some California sunshine! Wana grow some? Dr. Rhonda Patrick has a beautiful step-by-step free guide on how to do it on her website @foundmyfitness 🌱✌️☀️😘#packingessentials #roadtrippacking #broccolisprouts

They are easy to do, just 2.5 tablespoons of sprouting seeds, rinse twice a day and in 4-6 days you e got a big jar of fresh greens! We mostly eat them with lemon and sea salt but you could blend them in a smoothie too.  Sprouts are loaded with nutrients and check out that going rate? We must have about $20 worth of sprouts here  #masonjarsprouts #growyourown
8 months beyond when we had originally planned to 8 months beyond when we had originally planned to hit the road and we finally got back to that Forest air! It’s been slow goings with winter weather, this being baby’s 1st big road trip, and attempting school and work while in route. We’ve been averaging about 49 mph. 😂 I wore my iwatch and one day noticed I had done 5,670 steps. I hadn’t left the van that day. #adventurefamily #sprintervan
