What to do with all of those glorious summer veggies...........
After reading Steven Gundry's Diet Evolution, I've been incorporating more and more veggies into my meals. I figured there was not a lot of downside to this experiment. Afterall, no one says you should eat less veggies.
It also feeds my new creative outlet - cooking. I enjoy cooking for others. I love when I google 2 leftover ingredients in my fridge that have no apparent connection and find recipes (pork and olives anyone?). And one of my favorite creative endeavors is finding a recipe, having about 1/2 the ingredients, and saying 'Of course I can do this'.
Tonight's challenge is what to do with the tons of Basil in the garden, the ripe cherry tomatoes that were just dropped off from another garden, and summer squash in the fridge.
The result turned out better than expected. Using Miracle Noodles as a base (I've learned they don't have all the downsides to pasta but look and feel like pasta), I quickly sauteed garlic, red onion, bell pepper, summer squash, and halved tomatoes. A quick toss in the pasta, mixing in the basil leaves and even the non-veggie/non-Miracle Noodle eater in the house raved about it! Not a bad win for a Tuesday night.
