Meatless Monday: Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein



This recipe is seriously one of my absolute favorites! It is super easy and super yummy! Plus, it's packed full of veggies!

Ingredients:

- 1 Large Spaghetti Squash 
- 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
- 3 1/2 cloves garlic, minced 
- 1 T Coconut Sugar
- 1 t Ginger, minced 
-1/4 t Pepper
-3-4 T Olive Oil
-1/2 Onion, diced
- 1-1 1/2 cups Coleslaw Mix (cabbage & shredded carrots)
- 1-1 1/2 cups Shredded Purple Cabbage
-1/2 Yellow Squash (optional) 

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 375
-Carefully split spaghetti squash in half length-wise (you may have to pop it in the microwave for 1 minute to soften it in order to cut it easier)
-Scoop out seeds
-Brush spaghetti squash with 1-2 T olive oil mixed with 1/2 clove garlic, minced. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
-Bake face down on a baking sheet for 40 minutes
-Once spaghetti squash is done cooking, let cool for a few minutes then shred the insides with a fork (it will easily peel away and look like spaghetti noodles)
-In a small bowl, mix together coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, coconut sugar and pepper. 
- Heat 2 T olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet
-Sauté onion and yellow squash for 3-4 minutes, until tender.
-Add coleslaw mix and cabbage and sauté for about 1 minute
-Add in spaghetti squash and sauce mixture
-Mix thoroughly and remove from heat
-Enjoy!

**Note: I added the yellow squash this time because it was in my fridge but I usually don't. However it was a delicious addition. You can definitely customize this recipe using different veggies you have on hand.

So Fresh! So Clean!

Who hates squishy berries? Me! Who hates how fast berries grow mold? Me! Who hates grimy, dirty berries? Me! And who hates chemicals? Me! (and probably  hopefully you too) Well, What if I told you that I have a solution to all of your problems? Okay, well not all of your problems but I do have a solution for your berry problems. First and foremost, BUY ORGANIC! Let me repeat it again, buy ORGANIC! Listen, an extra dollar is not going to break the bank and IF it is, good thing step two is to CLEAN your berries. Why clean them? Well, even if you buy organic, you have no idea what those berries have come in contact with on their way to the store or Farmer's Market. And if you do not buy organic, well what they've come in contact with on the way to the store or Farmer's Market is the least of your concerns....can you say chemicals?! Yeah. Mmm Mmm good, right? Wrong. Lets clean that crud off so we don't ingest it. So, how are we going to clean our berries? Well, I a...

Paleo Pancakes TWO Ways!

I have always been a breakfast eater but never really a pancake eater. I LOVE eggs, potatoes and french toast. Mmm Mmm. :) However, when I was pregnant with my son I craved pancakes like it was my job. Luckily for me, my husband is a fantastic pancake maker. I mean, seriously, he does not cook, like evverrr. But that man, boy he can make amazing pancakes and omelets....breakfast is definitely his forte...at least in the kitchen. But, sadly once lil man was born, the pancake-making stopped but my craving and love for pancakes did not. So, here we are over two years later, still loving pancakes. And believe it not, lil man loooooooves breakfast. It's the one meal I can count on him eating and loving 100%  of the time. We usually have pancakes at least once a week. So, naturally, I had to move on from Aunt Jemima and Hungry Jack to something a little yummier and a lot healthier.
