day #3: pasta-lovers substitute!



big accomplishment #1: not needing/actually drinking caffeine when i woke up at 630am to go teach my elementary schoolers! nor did i drink it during my 20 minute break. I felt fine & that I had the energy and it turns out i did! what a great feeling :)

Zucchini Noodles! (fantastic substitute for thick, yummy noodles)
- potato peel 2-4 zucchini
- sauté in 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil for about 3 minutes
- for the last minute add in chopped up veggies! i use the inner zucchini core, carrots and mushrooms! the more color the better :) cook for 1 minute
- finally i throw in a little bit of tomato sauce for the last 30 seconds

VOILA! an incredible dish that has the texture and (i think) and even better flavor than pasta! super healthy, so fill up on as much as you want!

p.s. thanks to my mom for this recipe! :D
