My two favorite food genres
If I were to be deserted on a desert island and could only choose one thing to bring with me, but it came in an endless supply, I would choose chocolate. And if I wasn’t allowed to choose chocolate then I suppose I would go with the smart answer and pick fresh water. However, if water (and watermelon) and chocolate weren’t an option; then, Then we would have a major problem! I know the answer would either be Asian food or Pasta. For the life of me though, I don’t have any idea how I’d choose between them! I love them both so much! Which is why, I suppose, it’s a very good thing this hypothetical stranding will never take place.
Even knowing that that scenario will never happen, I often find myself pondering what my choice would be (I rarely sleep and often spend my nights distracting myself with thoughts of food). In this hypothetical stranding, I suppose that best answer would be Asian food because then I could have more variety, Lemon chicken, orange chicken, rice and noodles. However! If I went with pasta, then we’ve got your macaroni, ravioli, lasagnas and all other things delicious. Oh, So hard. This Zoodle Chicken Lo Mein though? It could be included in either choice!
Zoodles
Zoodles are noodles made from Zucchini. I use a Veggie Spiralizer and cut my Zucchini into long linguine type noodles. I personally prefer a Spiralizer with a crank handle, because they usually have more noodle shape and size options, so I can make more than just zoodles. One other awesome thing about Zucchini noodles is that they are totally diet friendly. So all you Paleo and Whole 30 and other Veggie dieters out there, time for a kitchen toy that makes dieting more fun.
