So, My husband and I have decided to spend 60 days eating "paleo."
This is also known as "the cave man diet"
It's just another way we want to experient with our diets :)
basically, it is NO:
grains
legumes
refined sugars
starchy veggies
dairy.
Let me tell you guys....it is HARD. I want cheese. We are on day 9 and some of my cravings for dairy have NOT subsided. But, I'm glad i'm doing it!
I like switching things up, and trying to become as healthy as I can.
If you know me, you know i Love spaghetti. Paleo is pretty hard to eat spaghetti on.
So, i made these "noodles"
That, is a bunch of "noodles" made from zucchini. Tossed in some olive oil and lemon juice.
and they were
DIVINE.
I made my own "sauce" (which consisted of tomatoes and lean beef) to go on top.
My whole family GOBBLED this right up.
here is what I did.
Took 4 large zucchini's and used a julienne peeler to make the "noodles"
I tossed them in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and oregano.
you can eat them just like that if preferred.
But, I tossed them in a pan to make them nice and hot!
I then cooked up onions with lean beef, used a can of crushed tomatoes, spices of my preference, and called it the "sauce."
how easy is that?!
eat.up!
Oh my gosh, this is the perfect way to have pasta without the pasta!! haha. Thank you SO much for sharing, Lauren :)
