Except then I’d have to give up my blended grains, and you know that’s not happening! But I do love my new spiralizer:
Spiralized zucchini noodles with mushroom gravy (Imagine Portobello mushroom soup) and spices, a coconut Larabar, My Cousin Vinegar Asparagus, and toast with homemade Smashberry Jam

Hi!
I just discovered your blog a couple weeks ago. I’ve gotten a lot of great new recipes and tips to gain/maintain weight while following a vegan diet. I’m trying to move away from animal products and into a plant-based diet. I’m naturally very thin and lead an active lifestyle so getting enough nutrients is important to me. Your spiralizer meal looks yummy. I look forward to many more recipes and meal posts.
that looks like quite a delicious spread! and katie, i just want to tell you that i had an awful day yesterday. (more details are in today’s post.) but anyway, last night i went to your FAQ page and found where you talked about forcing yourself to eat food in order to gain weight. after reading what you wrote, it made me feel a lot better. these past few days i’ve been trying to eat more calories in order to gain a few, but it’s just not worth it. i can’t force myself. it was nice to read your words and know that you went through this too. granted, i haven’t been eating a bunch of slices of cake for one snack, but i DID eat more than what makes me comfortable…and that’s not a good thing. so i just thought i’d let you know that you made me feel less alone. 🙂
love you, chiquita! and i’m loving spiralizer week so far!
ok…i never had any thoughts of needing a spiralizer until your posts.
yum! makes everything look better
it took some serious justification to invest in a blendtec….i don’t think my husband would go for a hand blender and spiralizer right now….two things you have me wanting or needing or whichever it is…that line blurs so easy 🙂
oh, the chopsticks too…i think i should try eating with those…but i have no clue how–do they have a “how to” for chopsticks on youtube
i might starve to death otherwise
I dream of someday owning a spiralizer. I think it would make me so much more excited about raw pasta. My only option now are “fettucine” sized noodles made with my old veggie peeler.
Omg I want a spiralizer so bad. Zucchini noodles look so amazingly good. And I even have an open thing of Imagine portobello broth to use as gravy! I guess I’ll have to use it on some normal boring pasta noodles…
Drooling and green with envy!! I have one of those babies on my kitchen gadget dream list. Oh my! I will just sit and pretend I can taste your delicious noodle bowl! YUM

I seriously hope I win…I’ve been making the big fetucchini noodles with my veggie peeler and it just ain’t cutting it!
broccolihut says
Seriously, your meals are so perfect. You combine all my faves in every one. Coconut Lara and zucchini sounds like a perfect tummy-filler:)
Marianne says
You and your crazy spiralizing 😉 I did like the looks of an alfredo zucchini pasta though.
Luna says
Katie the zucchini looks yummy 🙂 !! I made “puttanesca sauce” zucchini noodles once, but I did not have a spiralizer so they were not so perfect 😉
Savannah says
Looks SO good!
