When it comes to cooking, every recipe has to hit 3 certain types of criteria. (1) It has to be healthy (usually high protein -low carb) (2) It must be easy to make (3) It can’t have a major clean up.
This recipe has all of those things!
I’m literally not joking when I say we have this recipe, every week in our home. It’s just that good. It’s our “go-to” because it is literally so simple and so scrumptious. Not only is it delicious & healthy, but it is also incredible easy to make. It’s kind of an on going joke with my sister because every time she stays the night with us, this is what I make lol. I don’t think she actually cares though because it is that good. I’m not sure why there is such a misconception that healthy food has to be bland or boring but this recipe is not either of those things.
I first had this recipe while sampling around my local Whole Foods one Sunday (lol) and then went home and doctored it a little bit. For the sweet potato noodles, you could always make them on your own with a spiralizer, but I just buy these pre-spiraled ones from Whole Foods and they make my life so much easier! Which by-the-way, Veggie Noodles are life and if you haven’t jumped on the Veggie Noodle train yet, you are behind 😉
Kidding, but not because they are life.
So anyways, yeah, like I said above, this recipe is amazing, easy to make, low carb and high protein!
Enjoy & if you try it let me know what you think!
