Wild Salmon Zoodles alla Veneziana

It uses zucchini noodles and coconut milk, skipping the wheat pasta with gluten and heavy cream. The flavor is every bit as delicious. "Zoodles" are easy to make on a ...

Avocado Pesto

High nutrition and super-quick, whipped avocado is one of my top favorite snacks. For this 5-minute blended treat, you don't even need a recipe.

Super-easy with a food processor, you can also make it in any blender, or mash it by hand. Makes 1 cup spread. Enjoy! [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:226]
