I recently started this new meal plan called 2b mindset. It really focuses on drinking water, lots of veggies and eating certain food groups during certain times of the day. It’s simple and easy to follow, but it really made me think about this project and how do I mix the two together. It’s definitely doable, but the two recipes I’ve made this week were veggie based in order to for it in.
Over the weekend I made myself some zoodles!
They are incredibly easy to make and I love the idea of using them as noodles. The Pioneer Woman’s recipe was slightly different but I adapted it with what I had. I ended up topping them with marinara sauce, meatballs and a little Parmesan cheese.
One word of caution: your sauce will thin out very quickly because of the moisture in the zucchini. The Pioneer Woman’s recipe used a can of diced tomatoes that would probably work very well.
Tonight I wanted to spice up my veggies a little and remembered this Spicy Cauliflower Stir Fry recipe from the book. Now, normally when I want to try a recipe on the fly, I’m always missing at least one ingredient and it’s always an important one. Luck had it that I had a head of cauliflower in my fridge, so this was perfect.
The hardest part was cutting it apart and it small florets. I paired this with some salmon cakes and had dinner made within 15 minutes.
Super easy weeknight meal for the win! It was like eating stir fry but without the rice. I added a little kick to it with sriracha and it was the perfect spicy to this dinner.
I’m not sure what’s up next but I’m planning a retirement party for my mother-in-law and will be using at least 2 recipes from the book. Hopefully all turns out well!
