Quick and Easy Recipe: Zucchini Noodles

I am all about easy eating. I definitely enjoy a challenge on occasion, like my previous post on Mexican Spaghetti, but when I don't have the time, meals can sometimes be a little difficult with The Body Ecology Diet because you have to actually make something. This simple zucchini dish is a fabulous treat, full of flavor, and takes no time at all! It's a nice alternative to fettuccine alfredo.


What you will need: (Serves 2)

-3 large zucchini squash. If smaller, 6.
-3 tablespoons of ghee
-A splash (2 teaspoons) of lemon juice
-1 tablespoon sugar-free plain kefir (this adds a creamier texture and a nice flavor but the dish is fine without it!) 
-1 clove minced garlic
-3 teaspoons sea salt.
-3 teaspoons pepper
*With the seasonings, you can alter to your taste preference! 

-In a food processor or with a vegetable peeler, shave zucchini into noodle-like strips.
-Place 1 tablespoon of ghee in pan on medium-high heat and cook minced garlic until it turns clear. 
-Add zucchini, 2 tablespoons of ghee, salt, and pepper and saute on medium-high until zucchini is tender (approx. 8 minutes)- but try not to overcook to preserve nutrients.
-Take pan off heat and while stirring, add kefir.
-Squeeze lemon and voila!

If you have the time, it also tastes great with a little bit of vegan parmesan cheese on top! I make larger batches of this high-protein treat and store in the refrigerator for convenience to add to salads on other dishes. 

-1/3 cup raw cashews
-1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds

Add all ingredients into a food processor (Cuisinart, Vitamix, or coffee grinder) until mixture becomes finely ground, similar to real sprinkle parmesan cheese.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.” - Marianne Williamson
