I want to starting sharing more of my everyday life. Things that I actually eat basically everyday and not just my beautiful or more complex recipes. So I thought I would start by sharing with you my go-to lunch recently which is simply just zucchini noodles with cottage cheese. I eat this probably 3-4 times a week and it still hasn't gotten old. It is quick for me to make and packs both a nutrient and taste punch that keeps me coming back.
All that you need for this little creation is one zucchini, a julienne peeler, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. I julienne my zucchini with the peeler to create "noodles", fry them in a pan ( no oil or anything needed) for about 5 minutes until they are slightly soft. I then combine these "noodles" with some cottage cheese, salt and pepper and my lunch is ready to go. I also like to pair anything I have for lunch with a big bottle of water ( my bottle fits about 3 cups of water) to ensure I am staying properly hydrated.
I hope everyone is eating healthy, staying hydrated and enjoying the summer months ahead. What are some of your favourite go-to lunches?
I just got a spiralizer and zucchini noodles are my new favorite thing!
ReplyDeleteYummy! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks good. Hmm, go-to lunches... With work during the week I usually try to plan meals and make enough to have some leftovers, otherwise, its a homemade salad (use mixed greens, various vegetables I may have on hand, grill some chicken/fish I happen to have, and possibly some fruits dependent on other ingredients). Keep the dressing simple with just oil/balsamic.
ReplyDeleteActually have one on my blog: http://cookingcove.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/lunch-time-salad/
