Sesame Lime Confetti ZuNoodles
I love Asian inspired noodle dishes but I rarely eat pasta or rice noodles. I prefer to save my carbohydrates for fresh fruit and other unprocessed carbohydrates.

Designing a menu with the freshest ingredients you can find.
I always try to find the freshest local produce when I shop and then I make my menu for the week based on the ingredients I have on hand. The veggies are the stars in most meals I make and the meat or dairy is in a supporting role. Lentil and feta stuffed peppers, steamed…
