The Spiralizer.  Mom, if you are reading, I want a spiralizer for Christmas.  Please Santa! It's going to change my eating habits (aka carb loving woman right here)!

So I am primarily plant based because it's kind -so good for me - and makes me feel fab-u-lous to value animals!  And I like simple - healthy - QUICK - EASY - recipes (notice the bold letters).  I get overwhelmed by 20 ingredients or when I see a recipe taking up an entire page.  In walks the spiralizer, zucchini pasta and this girl is looking more chipper then the norm. 

I am sharing this zucchini pasta recipe today from Vegangela.com (Thank you Angela, I absolutely LOVE your site). Note I tweaked the recipe to only have 5 ingredients.  I left out more than half the ingredients b/c that's just who I am and what I do! I also borrowed a spiralizer from a friend for a few days who was going to be out of town.  I know, typically women borrow dresses, shoes, etc. and I am borrowing a spiralizer. 

Here is this delicious recipe that is perfect for fall! Kids will love this dish too mom!

And Angela, if you are reading, I cannot believe I have not come across your site sooner! It's amazing! You have a new follower!
