Great Gadget Pasta: Zucchini Pasta with Roasted Butternut Squash and Creamy Garlic Sauce

Great Gadget Pasta! 

An #EatClean recipe made with fun kitchen tools

Remember the other day when I bought a spiral slicer thingamajig? Well, it came in and I tested it out! 

Zucchini Pasta with Roasted Butternut Squash and Creamy Garlic Sauce

{complete recipe here via Choosing Raw}

The spiral slicer is super easy to use and makes fun little strings of veggies! We {Josh helped with this recipe} used four zucchinis and after some trial and error we got the hang of it and ended up with a giant batch of raw zucchini pasta "noodles"! 

Josh also had to help out here.... sliced and roasted butternut squash! Could have eaten this plain. Always and forever, I love roasted anything. 

Nutty Garlic Sauce! Thanks to the brand new KitchenAid food processor!!! 2 garlic cloves, water, honey {or agave}, 2 cups of almonds and 2 cups of cashews. Process until smooth and saucey thick. Add more water if needed. P.S. this made a TON!!! We will be eating it for weeks....

Cook the "pasta" in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and top with the lovely butternut squash

Drizzle Dump some garlic sauce over the pasta and enjoy! 

We scarfed this meal down- completely pasta perfect. I didn't miss "real noodles" one bit!!! You could top these noodles with anything too- the flavor blends so well with its toppings.

Eat Clean Recipe: Southwestern Lasagna

It's time for another round of "Recipes That I Made Up That I Liked"

Chicken Enchilada Lasagna! 

I must warn you- if you are one of those people that depend on recipes to cook {gag}. This post is not for you. This is simply my best recollection of what went into this amazing dish that I made over a week ago. Forgive me

Bake 1 pound of lean chicken breasts. I seasoned mine with fresh lime juice, evoo, garlic powder {a must}, Mrs Dash Onion & Herb seasoning and a lot of Mrs Dash Chipotle seasoning. 

Bake those suckers for about 30 minutes on 350 degree then shred them up. 

Now layer some flavors in a baking dish. This includes- 1 can of organic black beans, sauteed fresh squash, steamed corn, whole wheat tortillas, steamed whole grain brown rice,  and special red sauce. 

Now we rely on my memory...

1 can of organic tomato sauce, shakes of worchestire, garlic powder, sriracha, cumin, tumeric, honey {or agave} and chili seasoning

Top with a tiny bit of cheese and bake for 40 minutes till piping hot

 This was such a savory and filling meal. Not a lot was needed to fill you up and satisfy. The tortillas gave it some crunch and the red sauce was smooth and tasty. This was a great dish that combined some southwestern and indian flavors to create a sweet, tangy and spicy flavor. 


Will be repeated in the JAMM household!

budget decorating dreams

Spring has Sprung! This means- switch out the wardrobe and do some spring cleaning! 


We started this weekend by rearranging some furniture and I made a dent {hardly} on the closet. My urge to redecorate is overwhelming...but I need to stay on a budget {blah....}. Thanks to Pinterest, there just may be some ways to spruce up the place and save some pennies. 

This is the look that I am going for with our living room. But a touch less bright white. Gosh, we need a couch. Where is the best place to get a new couch?  

I spend the most time in the kitchen {slaving away....:) haha }, so I think it should be a bit decorated as well. We have a metal-ish theme going on, so I think this would play well with it. 

Apparently this is a $1 floor mat that has been spray painted. Let the hunt begin. 

I have a fantastic white shelf that will be hung in the "dining room" very soon- I would like to fill it up like this one. The oh-so-expected wooden letters and ampersand 

An inexpensive way to give our table some custom love

At times it seems we have more books than a public library. We really need a book shelf and I love the idea of painting the back of it to make it look more designer-ish. 

We will be needing a new coffee table soon and given the budget- we might be sprucing up some $7 ikea tables like above. 

Cross your fingers that I will be able to accomplish some of this!

Musings of a Wednesday

Musings of a Wednesday

It's been a good week... had some great workouts, dinners, times with friends, caught up on Smash {ahhhhmazing show} and watched world's-worst Bachelor season come to a close {finally!!!}.

I'm working my cowboy boots today, love them! but... I think it is time for a more stylish pair

What are some good brands? 

Such a cute dress- it's just about time to switch out my closet for Spring/Summer

yesssss

I love this shelf in the kitchen, I want to recreate so I can show off my cute collection of tea {coffee..} cups! 

The other night I had a #DinnerFail and made a gross eggplant dish. I can't bear to rehash the details and cannot figure out what went wrong. But now I am left with an extra eggplant and I haven't been able to do anything to it but give it dirty looks. Grrr. Looks like I will go with my ole-standby and slice and roast the sucker. Take that eggplant. 

I also cannot figure out what I did to my left knee. Bikini and wedding season is much too close for me to throw in the cardio towel, so I am looking for other ways to sweat it out. Cycle/Spin class?! Looks amazing! 

Who wants to join with me? :) They have 5:45 a.m. weekday classes! 

Enjoy your Wednesday! Halfway to the weekend kids
