Last month while we were in Idaho, we went to Noodles & Co for dinner. I was happy to see that they offered zoodles as a replacement for pasta in most of their dishes! I tried their Thai Green Curry Zoodle Bowl and loved it so much, I whipped up a copycat version to make …
Pad Thai has been on our family’s favorite dinner list for a couple of years now, and the kids always do a happy dance when they find out I’ve made it. I’ve been meaning to test out a paleo pad Thai on them and just did it recently. Only one of my kids likes zucchini …

I’m a big fan of lettuce wraps. Mostly because they make a meal vegetable-centered instead of grain-centered. A couple more of …
You may have guessed that those “noodles” aren’t really pasta, but julienned zucchini. Zucchini noodles are a great alternative if you’re eating paleo, gluten-free, or low-carb.
