Just like last year, the BOY and I joined my parents at my sister in laws family a few hours south for the weekend celebrating Christmas and an exciting 2014! There were drinks and dinner, music, laugher and games, flappy bird and football, and of course presents!
The BOY and I had so much fun! We did this week’s mini meal plan (I am working Monday, Tuesday, and half of Wednesday) on the way home swinging by the grocery store before finally unloading our car. For dinner tonight, I was really excited to give my new veggie slicer a try.
I made my first batch of zoodles (zucchini noodles) with the help of Cooper and the BOY.
Then topped them with some premade chicken meatballs, sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese.
My dinner was delicious and I have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch.
I know that there will be zoodles of more fun to come (next year and with my cool new peeler).
Do you have a veggie peeler? How do you use it?
What fun gifts did you get for the holidays?
Ohhh Zoodles!!! I have a Zoodle maker, you just inspired me to break it out. Mine has been hiding in my pantry since the end of summer. Happy Holidays to you and yours Jennifer…and you make that hat look good! 🙂
Ha ha! Thanks Renee. The popper crowns always make me laugh! Hope you make some delish zoodles soon!
I need a spiralizer! Those zoodles look delish! Have you tried making sweet potato noodles yet? I’ve seen those on some blogs, too, and they look tasty. Happiest holidays!
Do you bake them or eat them raw??? I haven’t but I LOVE sweet potatoes so that will probably be next on my list : )
Fun!! I need one of those. I bet you will get some good use out of it!! I got a brownie ever edge pan and I love it!!
We do Christmas crackers every year too and put our hats. Fun tradition! Glad to see other people do that too!! 🙂
Me too because when I asked some friends about it they said…what are poppers? Ha ha!
[…] We came back home around 6:30pm and noshed on cheese, crackers, and apples while we started cooking dinner. The BOY made some delicious shrimp to top our pasta and zoodles. […]
