When I was younger and pasta was just pasta, I used to love fettuccine alfredo. So long it was creamy, buttery, and delicious, it had my name all over it. Fast forward to current times where eating a good old fashioned noodle is treachery and having a pasta sauce made out of actual cream and butter is a prohibition, I created a recipe for Vegan & Flour Free Zucchini Pasta Alfredo. That’s right. No flour, no gluten, no noodles, no sugar, no milk, no cream, no butter, and definitely no carbs. I’m half making fun of the way the nutrition world works these days, and half buying into it.
I can’t decide which is the better half. Moving on….

Fiber and protein are two of the most powerful, and strategic, nutrients everyone should be consuming for overall health and weight loss. …
The past year has been a whirlwind of changes and inconsistency. I traveled far more than I ever expected, moved a total of three times, and struggled to find a balance between being on the go and staying still. Months would go by without stepping foot into a grocery store and no two days were the same when it came to food. I can’t say this was the most settling thing because, by nature, I am a creature of structure….
First avocado was hot. Then matcha became all the rage. Now mindful eating has taken over, so essentially we can eat anything but it has to be mindful. But of course if you’re being mindful you’re choosing only good things because chances are if you’re mindful you also do yoga and if you do yoga you must be vegan, and if you’re vegan – oh you must be very healthy.
And just like that, it’s 2017. I don’t feel, and haven’t ever felt, fond towards New Year’s resolutions. They last a whole 5 minutes, and tend to bring you right back to where you started.
