HELLO!!!! ZUCCHINI ALFREDO NIGHT!

I apologize SO much for not posting anything sooner than this!  I was hired for a lovely job as a cook at a nursing home and I travel back and forth from my aunt's to my mom's house so it's been tough finding a night to cook!

I discovered 2 new recipes from the show "hungry girl" on food network. Her episode was all about pasta.  Pasta is my trigger food. Once I start eating it, I can't stop. lol. So, these tips were VERY helpful!

the first is zucchini alfredo instead of the pasta, we use zucchini and instead of authentic alfredo sauce, we use fat free sour cream! It is SUPER delicious and easy AND filling!!


1 zucchini (per serving)
2T sour cream
salt
pepper
crushed red pepper flakes
oregano
basil
parmesean cheese

1. Peel the green skin off of zucchini.
2. continue peeling the zucchini into ribbons.
3. heat pan with a little bit of olive oil.
4. toss in zucchini and spices
5. once heated thru, add the sour cream and cheese.
6. heat the cream through and then serve!!

It is SO delicious it's practically ridiculous! =D The first time I made this I threw in some leftover steak, you could EASILY throw in leftover veggies or meat!

Here is another great recipe from her! Slaw and Order  I used leftover steak in this also. It was AMAZING how filling it was compared to the same amount of pasta!  On her recipe, I used tomato sauce (by accident) but that had fewer calories than the tomato soup so that is up to you!

I hope once July gets here I will be able to set aside days to load up recipes/ create recipes for here because I really like this just hard to find time! Sorry it took so long again!
