    Home » Simple Turmeric Cauliflower + Zucchini Pasta

    Simple Turmeric Cauliflower + Zucchini Pasta

    It's been a long time since I have sat down and shared a recipe with you all. Between my mom duties and my wife duties lately I've been swamped. As a kindergarten 1st timer, it's been a bit crazy getting used to this whole everyday drop off / pick up, homework, lunches thing. And on top of that I volunteer Tuesdays and do art on Fridays. 

    I'm sure it will all feel normal at some point {but by then it will be time for child #2 to be in kindergarten, ha} .

    Lately dinners have been simple and so last minute. One of my favorite things to whip up is roasted veggies with raw veggies. This combination is key to the right texture and flavors. All cooked is too mushy and rich. All raw is ideal but not always has comforting and filling for some. 

    I've also been liking less "saucy" meals and less dressing on my salads these days. In season veggies are so flavorful and sweet that you really don't need much as far as added flavorings go. 

    Turmeric Cauliflower

    1 head caulliflower, cut into pieces, large stem removed

    1 teaspoon turmeric  

    3 Tbls Fresh n' Nova garlic sauce  {I used the rosemary dill - but any will work}

    pinch sea salt

    Turn the oven onto 400 degrees F. While it's preheating, mix the above ingredients until cauliflower is well coated. 

    Layer the cauliflower mixture onto a metal baking pan and bake until soft and bottoms have browned. Do not keep tossing the vegetables. Let them stay in one place. Cook for about 35-45 minutes depending on your oven and how hot it gets. I notice my oven cooks faster than my mom's oven but mine is smaller. 

    Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

    2-3 cups raw cherry tomatoes

    spray coconut oil

    pinch sea salt

    pinch pepper

    Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Place them on a metal pan that you sprayed with coconut oil. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper over the tomatoes. Place them on an oven rack with the cauliflower for about 20 minutes. The bottoms should brown as well. 

    Zucchini Pasta

    1-2 large zucchini

    1 large avocado

    Depending on how many people you're serving, you'll want to cut the ends off of 1 or 2 zucchini. Using a spiralizer or a peeler, turn the zucchini into "pasta" noodles.

    Assembly

    In a large bowl you'll add the zucchini pasta spirals. Then add the tomatoes and cauliflower. Mix up and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

    Add an entire avocado, cut into slices. And mix again. 

    Salt and pepper to taste. Add olive oil if you feel it's too dry. The avocado should add some wet/fatty texture and flavors. 

    NOTE: This might not sound all that simple if you've never made it before. But once you get used to this type of meal - roasted veggies with raw veggies - you'll see that it's so easy and quick and simple and tasty. It's a technique that will be glad you masterd.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
