Whole30<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I mentioned in yesterday’s Sweet Potato Curly Fries<\/a> post that I am doing something called Whole30<\/a> for a month, the idea being to clean up my diet and hopefully improve my sleeping and my overall health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this programme I have eliminated all grains from my diet and so I have been using one of my favourite kitchen gadgets, a spiralizer, nearly every day in an attempt to create pasta and noodle-like substitutions from vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry, I’m not going to post only Whole30 posts for the next month as am still cooking “normal” food for my family and want this blog to very much remain full of family friendly fussy eating-busting recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However I am trying to improve all of our eating habits, not just mine, cut down on everyone’s sugar intake and up their portions of vegetables every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if my family have eaten and enjoyed some of my Whole30 meals then I will post those recipes here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to see more (or less!) of these kinds of recipes please do let me know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe of Roasted Chicken and Vegetables with Courgetti and Creamy Pesto<\/strong> went down a storm at dinnertime earlier this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think my family are quite ready to completely swap spaghetti<\/strong> for courgetti<\/strong> (and to be honest I don’t want to eliminate grains from my fussy eater’s diet completely) so I had the idea of serving half and half<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mixed the courgetti in with their spaghetti and they didn’t even notice! What a fantastic way of sneaking some extra veg<\/strong> into their diets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courgetti <\/strong>(or zoodles<\/strong> if you are across the pond!) can be eaten raw but I prefer to take the bite out of it and warm it slightly by giving it a very quick saute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to try mixing it with spaghetti, simply add it to the pan of cooking pasta for the last 2 minutes, then drain and add your sauce as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
