tonight for supper i tried something new: vegetable noodles! i have seen so many vegetable noodle recipes on the internet and have wanted to try them because they are a great low-carb alternative to regular pasta noodles! tonight i broke out my new spirooli spiral slicer to make zucchini noodles! it was so fun using my newest contraption! after i spiralized the zucchini, i ended up slightly warming it with my pasta sauce to soften them up a bit. for my sauce tonight, i simply browned a sliced italian chicken sausage link, dumped in some sliced stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce with some classic italian spices and let it simmer while i worked on the zucchini and made a salad. it was really a delicious and filling italian dinner free of carbs from pasta! with the spirooli, you can spiralize vegetables ranging from squash to potatoes, slice veggies like cucumbers or even shred cabbage! my dad made have made fun of me for buying it but i have a feeling he is going to get some good use out of it too when i bring it home for the summer. i think it is an essential tool for a healthy kitchen, and a time saver too!
i am crossing my fingers for a possible snow day tomorrow... which would give me a four day weekend! all but one of my classes are cancelled so i am constantly checking my email hoping it is either from my professor or UT! i don't like the snow at all (born and bred a southerner, i just don't know what to do with it) so i would rather have no snow or ice but if it is going to happen, i don't want to have to be out in it! i hope everyone stays safe and warm over the next few days!
