Hey Chicks,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hope you are having a super fab day!\u00a0 I am so sorry this post is a day late but let’s just pretend it’s still Wednesday…and I promise the food you are about to see is worth the wait \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Spiralizers, nut milk bags, irish moss, glass straw cleaners...it was a nutrionista's version of Xmas!<\/p><\/div>\n

So this past weekend, I checked out the Whole Life Expo in Toronto<\/a> with some amazing chicks from my nutrition course. And while many chicks are lusting over diamonds and pearls, I have had a long standing love crush on a sweet appliance<\/strong> that I finally got to take home this weekend- the spiralizer!<\/p>\n

\"spiralizer<\/a>

Together at last...my spiralizer xo<\/p><\/div>\n

For those who do not know what <\/a>a spiralizer <\/a>is\u00a0 it is basically a slicer that turns your fruits and veggies into long noodles or ribbons<\/strong>.\u00a0 And why do I absolutely LOVE that idea?\u00a0 Because it gives you a super fast, grain & gluten free, fresh, super healthy alternative to pasta! <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"gluten<\/a>

The easiest and most delicious sauces and "noodles" you have ever had<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can cut out the crappy carbs that spike your blood sugar, zap your energy and make you gain weight and still get your spaghetti fix<\/strong> especially as the weather gets cold and we can use that comfort food. Plus it makes your food look so pretty \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

CHICK FEED:\u00a0 Super Sassy Spaghetti Bolognese sans Spaghetti<\/h3>\n

FOR THE “SPAGHETTI”<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1-3 Zuchinni (depending on how many you are cooking for)<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS:<\/strong>
\nUse your spiralizer to turn into noodles. If you do not have a spiralizer, don’t stress! You can also use a julienne peeler<\/a> (looks like a reg veggie peeler but with teeth) or julienne strips on your mandolin slicer.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> You can eat it raw but I like to steam my for a couple of minutes or add right to the sauce in the pot to heat the noodles slightly. It really feels like spaghetti to me then!<\/em><\/p>\n

HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE<\/strong>
\nThis recipe is super forgiving so you can play with it to suit your tastes. I adapted from one I found <\/em>on the Lakewood Farmers Market blog.<\/em>
\n<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingrediants:<\/strong>
\n1 cup sundried tomatoes (look for organic as many have sulphites in them!)
\n2\u00a0 tomatoes – seeds removed
\n1 red pepper
\n1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
\n1-2 cloves garlic
\n1 small red onion
\n1\/4 cup of olive oil
\n1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
\n1 tbsp. chopped basil
\nSea salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/strong>
\nSimply throw all ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add a little more olive. The key to the flavor in this sauce is the sundried tomatoes so add as much as you like! Serve hot or cold.<\/p>\n

\"paleo<\/a>

Spaghetti Bolognese sans Spaghetti - My new FAVE meal!<\/p><\/div>\n

MAKE IT A COMPLETE MEAL!<\/h3>\n

Now to make this a complete meal we need to add a protein to get a sweet balance of protein, fibre and fats<\/strong>. I love a chunky sauce so I added organic ground chicken for my protein and then some additional chunks of carrots and celery. For my vegan chicks, you can sub the ground chicken for quinoa <\/strong>or chopped walnuts to get an additional protein source.<\/p>\n

\"2012<\/a>

There we are...FIT CHICKS wins Gold!!<\/p><\/div>\n

I am so in love with this dinner that I ate it every day this week<\/strong> and did an extra special celebratory version on the day we found out that we won the 2012 Gold Stevie Award for Women in Business – Company of the Year<\/a> (go chicks!) where I swapped the zuchinni for sweet potato…so delicious!<\/p>\n

Now I am off to find out what else I can spiralize – stay tuned!<\/p>\n

Make today fabulous!
\nLaura, your head chick xo<\/p>\n

PS\u00a0 Episode 10 of “Shape Up with FIT CHICKS”<\/a> is a super awesome one this week so make sure to check it out.\u00a0 Amanda is taking us through bootcamp done snowboard style<\/a> – it is so fun and a killer sweat session!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
