So simple...sooo good! Zucchini Noodles.

For the last month or so we have been enjoying a lot of zucchini noodles! It is fun to experiment with different toppings and dressings as well!

# of zucchinis vary. When it is just me and the 2 kids I use 5 decent sized zucchini. Add the husband and I will make 8-12 zucchini.

Wash and peel the skin. Use the potato peeler and make long thin strands rotating the zucchini as you peel the ribbons of zucchini. Saute the noodles in either olive oil or coconut oil (personal preference) with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.


I prefer my tomato sauce served with them but have also tried making them like broccoli and cavatelli. I sprinkle a soy Parmesan and toss with the broccoli.

My husband like to toss them with corn noodles with just a little bit of oil!

Food and healthy options along with eating for preventative health and weight management has been a passion of mine for a very long time. I will keep you posted as I progress and will let you know when I will start accepting clients as well.

FAST FOOD FREE FRIDAY'S! ....Now say it out loud.

I am a mother of two and a holistic health professional in the Myrtle Beach area. I consider myself a holistic mom doing the best I can to raise healthy happy children. The eating habits of my children are one of my top priorities. The eating habits of your children are becoming my priority as well. The more I learn from movies like Two Angry Moms, Fast Food Nation, and Forks Over Knives is that we are killing our children. WHY?

We are making progress and I love these little movements like MEATLESS Monday. While these are baby steps they, they are steps in the right direction.

I would like to suggest with another baby step to add FAST FOOD FREE FRIDAY's.

This is the first time in history that our children are going to be dying before their parents. Is it because we are to lazy to give them a home cooked meal with WHOLE FOODS?

Please help me spread this message and spread the word that our children's health IS important and we can make a difference.


**POST AS YOUR FACEBOOK STATUS.....FAST FOOD FREE FRIDAY'S!
Oh yeah spread the message on Twitter as well.:)
