Zucchini Noodles and Meatballs – Gluten-Free Dinner!
Zucchini Noodles
Zucchini Noodles make an amazing gluten-free dinner!! My bestie made it for me and I not only want her cute white dishes, I could have this meal weekly. Trying new dishes with friends is amazing. My cousin, who was my maid of honor in my wedding and my best friend has lost a bunch of weight in the last few months. This is one of the main reasons why. Having things like zucchini noodles is a huge part of the process in getting healthy. Not that she can’t have normal noodles, but keeping away from carbs, that are very starchy and dense, has been key in her transformation.
Gluten-free Dinner
You do need a spiral veggie cutter. Veggetti was what we used. $12 bucks and it’s small and easy to store. Zucchini Noodles are easy to make and can be used in tons of different dishes. My kids will eat them…which is huge! Here’s a little excerpt from Organic Facts about zucchini,
“Zucchini is well known to reduce weight, yet still boosting the nutrient value of your diet. Moreover, it helps to promote eye health, and prevents all the diseases that occur from vitamin C deficiency like scurvy, sclerosis, and easy bruising. It helps to cure asthma and has a high content of vitamin C, carbohydrates, protein and fiber. Zucchini contains significant quantities of potassium, folate, and vitamin A, all of which are important for general good health. Zucchini, when eaten regularly, can effectively lower your homocysteine levels.”
So as you can see…..add zucchini into your diet as much as possible! You can’t go wrong….now onto what we had for dinner.
- What she threw in:
- Organic marinara sauce from Trader Joe’s, heated
- Aidell’s Italian meatballs, browned
- Zucchini noodles, boiled for 2-3 min.
- Salt & Pepper
We did mix some gluten-free noodles we had made for the kids in with our zucchini noodles. It is amazing how good something can taste, even when it is not what you think it should be. Never, once when I was growing up, do I remember having zucchini noodles!
The salad is:
Green onions
Mixed greens
AvocadoFeel free to use this for a 21 Day Fix Meal! And remember, add zucchini noodles into your meal plan as much as possible!

Free Cruise! I Love What I Do!
Going on a Free Cruise
A free cruise?! Are you serious?! We might be geeking out right now that we just got our free room on this ship, and yes, we upgraded just a bit to get a room with a deck! We get to hit up the Carribean for free!! If that isn’t exciting, I don’t know what is! I never thought this would be possible, I just started this venture because I felt uncomfortable in my own skin….how times have changed! ??
Being able to stay fit and help other people do the same has been an unexpected blessing to our fam. This trip is just one of the rewards we get for paying it forward. We’ve found something that works for us so we share it and get one vacation a year to celebrate it all! I literally earned this free cruise by helping others in their health and fitness journeys. So, by doing what I love, helping others with their goals, seeing the excitement of success and I get a free cruise for doing that……thank you very much, I’ll take it. I literally helped 3-5 women a month throughout this last year and loving it!
Still seems like a dream! ?
The thing my husband and I love the most, is that we get to hang out with people with the same passion for helping others on this free cruise! Most the other people going are in the same “boat” as us and have just been helping 3-5 people a month! And, we are starting to have some of our team join us! We are so excited for this adventure that is happening in early spring of next year! On our way to see some of our local team right now and then a bday party with friends later. Kid free Saturday in the works.
