We recently purchased a spiral vegetable slicer after researching recipes showing healthy alternatives for pasta. A popular one is to replace it with zucchini. The good thing about zucchini noodles is that you won’t get that bloated feeling that you get from eating pasta, which I don’t particularly like, its very low in carbohydrates, and it’s gluten free! I was definitely keen to try this out as I had already purchased some fresh zucchini from the farmers market, so I was all set to put the new tool to the test! 3 medium size Zucchini Half of each Red and green bell peppers1 medium red onionTJ’s all natural chicken sweet Italian style chicken sausage 1 cup sliced bella mushroomsOrganic mushroom Marinara sauce(whole foods)TJ’s Everyday seasoning and black pepperTJ’s Olive oilAvocado(optional)I was very impressed with how the machine just sliced through the zucchini. After slicing it all, I placed the zucchini on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzled some olive oil and sprinkled some TJ’s everyday seasoning on top, then baked it for around 20min or just until they were a bit tender.To add to it I sautéed the chicken sausage with bell peppers, mushrooms, red onion and some everyday seasoning and black pepper. I then added the marinara sauce last. Finally, added half an avocado for some healthy fats.Now you have a healthy balanced meal!#healthandfitness #glutenfree #fats #healthyeating #organic #leanmuscle #protein #traderjoe’s #dmv #tenleytown #abs #eatclean

I was very impressed with how the machine just sliced through the zucchini. After slicing it all, I placed the zucchini on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzled some olive oil and sprinkled some TJ’s everyday seasoning on top, then baked it for around 20 minutes or just until they were a bit tender.
To add to it I sautéed the chicken sausage with bell peppers, mushrooms, red onion and some everyday seasoning and black pepper. I then added the marinara sauce last. Finally, I added half an avocado for some healthy fats. Now you have a healthy balanced meal!
