Asian Peanut Zucchini Noodles with Chicken + Skinnytaste Cookbook Giveaway!

Gina from the healthy food blog Skinnytaste  has a new cookbook out as of yesterday!

In honor of this release (how exciting!), I’m sharing with you one of her recipes from the cookbook – an Inspiralized version, of course.

Yes, I repeat: there is a recipe in this blog post.

Asian Peanut Zucchini Noodles with Chicken + Skinnytaste Cookbook Giveaway!

Now that I made the comment, let’s address last week’s post, reviewing Against All Grain’s new cookbook. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Danielle through the blogosphere – her story is inspirational, her recipes are solid and of course, she’s been a big supporter of the spiralized movement and me!

So, she sent me a copy of her cookbook to review. Unfortunately, none of her spiralized recipes in the book were on the publisher’s “okay” list (a list of recipes that bloggers can retype and post on their blogs.) However, I wanted to review her gorgeous book and make one of the spiralized recipes in there, to support her.

Any girl that spiralizes is a friend of mine!

While I was trying to support a fellow blogger who I believe in, some awfully rude, angry comments started flowing in. “I have to buy a cookbook to get one recipe? I don’t THINK so!” and “Think I will just buy her book, and not follow your blog any more.

I was pretty stunned. I love my readers, and I was hurt that they had such anger and hostility towards me in their comments. I thought I was doing a kind thing, recommending an amazing cookbook that has delicious spiralized recipes in it (isn’t that what y’all come here for – spiralized recipes?)

Then, the kinder readers chimed in with things like “Kudos to you for all of your hard work, and for willingly showcasing another bloggers work.” and my personal favorite, “You are one of the most dedicated food bloggers I’ve ever followed — even on your busiest weeks you give us countless new recipes! (and for free!) I think you know you’ve made it when you have haters.

Instead of continuing to be hurt by the nasty comments, I reread all of the supportive, compassionate comments and realized that I am so grateful for those people who believe in me, what I’m doing, and appreciate the hard work I put into this blog.

However, I’m a firm believer in that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I’m putting things out there, so I should understand that that comes with some dissension. For those of you who were disappointed and discouraged, I apologize.

Alas, I spoke with the incredible Gina at Skinnytaste and she OKd me to share this recipe with you – especially because I’ve adapted it and “Inspiralized” it. Let me tell you, it’s delicious – I don’t think I could ever have replicated this peanut sauce quite like she has.

Every single bite is a dream – filled with creamy peanuty flavor and healthy crunch. I love the addition of the broccoli (which I spiralized, instead of leaving as a “slaw” per her original recipe) – it gives this dish even more flavor and fiber to fill you up for longer.

The zucchini noodles save the day, replacing the regular noodles in the recipe and cutting the caloric and carb count down a lot – which is what Skinnytaste is all about (light on calories, big on flavor!)

I’m in love with this cookbook and I can’t wait to make more recipes from it. I’ve already stuck quite a few Post-It notes throughout.

Thanks in advance for the love, everyone. You inspire me more than you’ll ever know!

  • Can. Not. WAIT. To make this : ) Inspiralized and Skinnytaste are my two favorite blogs, hands down! Thanks for sharing!
  • Looks beautiful. As for the former post, I cannot believe how entitled, rude and IGNORANT those commenters were. Their reaction should be gratitude that you alert them of other delicious, healthy resources. Given the low cost of your app getting a few recipes a week is more than reasonable, griping because on one particular day there wasn't an ingredients list is just bizarre. Some people sadly just have horrible attitudes. Keep up your great work!
  • You're both totally awesome, inspiring and powerful ladies! Would love a chance to own this (and your) cookbook! Thank you!
  • I look forward to your posts every morning! I would love to get this cookbook so I can continue to feed my husband deliciously healthy meals.
  • Skinnytaste is one of my favorite websites for recipes and I would love to see more recipes from the cookbook!
  • I would love to receive the cookbook because delicious, nutritious meals are important in my household. I want to make sure we eat well and still enjoy our food. Thank you for the opportunity.
  • I am a huge HUGE fan of skinnytaste. Her thanksgiving recipes alone gave me confidence and credibility in the kitchen - a place where i am not too comfortable (yet)!
  • I'm a fan of both blogs so keep up the good work!
  • I love the Skinnytaste blog and would love this cookbook. We're having our kitchen redone (after YEARS of saving) and wouldn't it be great (in December, we hope) to have this cookbook on my new, spacious island!
  • I am new to using the Spiralizer but am so thrilled with it and have recommended it to all of my friends. Once I discovered this site I emailed this out to everyone too! I am following both you and Skinnytaste on Pinterest and am so happy to have healthy cooking options that look and taste amazing that I can also feed to pickier eaters to get them to eat healthy with me. I would love to win this cookbook to continue to try new recipes and share my healthy eating lifestyle. (I am also sorry to hear about the negative comments. It's a shame some people may not appreciate what you're doing.)
  • Down with the haters! Thank you for your hard work and providing us with amazing recipes on a regular basis. I think it's great that bloggers support each other.
  • I follow both of you and have used your recipes many times. I would love to win Gina's cookbook! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
  • Who would have something negative to say about spiralizing?? Seriously?? You're recipes and photos are awesome. I look forward to my email every day and share with friends! Keep up the amazing work-you inspire me to use and eat veggies in such fun ways! My kids even eat veggies now! I only wish i could quit my job and work for you :).
  • I need more variety with my healthy eats!
  • I follow both SkinnyTaste and Inspiralized and very much appreciate the time and energy you both put into your wonderful blogs. Please ignore the haters out there. Don
  • Oh this looks SO good! And I need that cookbook to get my husband to eat his veggies and stop eating sausage and bacon all the time!
  • I have been following Skinny Taste for a while now and have been meaning to buy her cookbook. Receiving it would be awesome!
  • I love both blogs and have been in a bit of a food rut lately, so winning this cookbook would totally help me snap out of it!!
  • I follow both SkinnyTaste and Inspiralized, both are wonderful blogs and always make me want to rush home and cook!
  • Which srarchi sauce do you use? Additive free?
  • Oh man, Skinnytaste meets Inspiralized is a DREAM come true!!!!!! Have been so excited about BOTH of your cookbooks!!!!!!! Thank you for offering this and for sharing this yummy recipe!!!!
  • So exciting!
  • I got my Spiralizer for my birthday this summer. It has completely changed the way I look at food. This in turn has allowed my boyfriend and I to "Live to Eat" vs. "Eat to Live." Not only do we fight over who is cooking supper tonight, we enjoy cooking AND eating our plates... The dishes however, we like less. We'd love to win Gina's SkinnyTaste Cookbook so we can share more tasty memories in our kitchen!
  • major kudos to you. i also think you are one of the best food bloggers - why? - you CONNECT with your readers and make recipes that are accessible to everyone regardless of diet, income, etc. a lot of times, we find food bloggers who require us to purchase things that are a bit more expensive only to use a little bit. additionally, you actually take time to comment back to us, on whatever media source we may use. that takes an incredible amount of time, and effort. i'd love to win the skinnytaste cook book as my boyfriend is beginning his weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey. i've already started to show him how things can be made in healthy ways, and according to him, i dont make brussel sprouts taste like dirt, so thats a win in my book, for now. gotta keep it fresh! all the best, Ali! xo
  • The recipe looks delish and will definitely try it. Sorry to hear about the negative feedback, must have ruined your day. It is amazing how brave people can be sitting behind their computer screens. I love your recipes and your daily posts. Keep up the good work!
  • Love the Inspiralized blog. So much creativity! Thank you!
  • A very wise coworker once told me, "Let your haters be your motivators." You do great work and I absolutley love your blog. The fact that you're supporting other bloggers proves you'll go far!
  • One of the criteria for knowing when you have made it in business is when you start getting "haters". Congratulations! You have made it!
  • I love Gina at Skinnytaste, and actually discovered Spiralized, my new go-to dinner idea source, through her!
  • This recipe looks so tasty! My spiralizer arrived in the post today so will use it for this recipe soon! Winning the cookbook would be amazing.
  • Love Skinnytaste and Inspiralized! Thanks for sharing this!
  • I would love another good cookbook. I only have one in paper form so far, Nom Nom Paleo. So this would be a great addition to my new collection! Thank you for the chance to win :)
  • I know what's for dinner tonight...and can't wait! This recipe looks and sounds delicious - thanks for sharing!
  • I love tasty, healthy food and I have a big bottle of sriracha sauce that I would love to put to use! Thanks for all the wonderful recipes.
  • Also, I love that you highlight other bloggers and support their cookbooks. Because of your post about Against the Grain, I bought Danielle's cookbook this weekend and am super excited to start putting into practice her philosophy, which will hopefully help my ill partner feel better for the first time in years. I can't wait for the Inspiralized cookbook to come out!
  • love this blog and would love to win a copy of skinny taste I have been making many good changes to my diet and this book would be very helpful
  • I absolutely love your website! I've been sharing the love through London and i'm sure you now have lots of UK fans. Thanks for another great recipe, i can't wait for your cookbook!
  • Um.....YUM! I adore peanut noodles. The version that is my favorite, is the farthest thing from healthy. Can't wait to give these a try.
  • The recipe looks great! I've never used broth in peanut sauce before so that will be something new to try. I'm glad you support fellow bloggers whose food you love. Anyone so ungracious as to make a negative comment simply because they didn't get a recipe out of ONE post is obviously an unreasonable person. Hope you can take the ridiculous nature of those people in stride. Love your blog, your recipes and all the inspiration you provide. You have the most creative and yet simple recipes and I know most of your followers really appreciate that! So, thanks for all your hard work.
  • I follow skinnytaste on pinterest and have used her yummy recipes many tumes. I'd love to have a hard copy of her new cookbook to have on our sailboat!
  • The marriage of Skinnytaste and Inspiralized equals dreams coming true for dinner tonight. Beat it, haters! Keep on killing it, Ali. You have no idea how much your site is a regular and hilarious conversation in my life. High five.
  • This recipe looks great! I make a similar one with coconut aminos, PB2 and rice vinegar! I am definitely going to get this book (though I'd prefer to win it, haha!). Can't beat finding healthy substitutes with great flavor!
  • I'm not quite sure what is wrong with people and why they feel the need to express so much hate. Maybe they're unhappy in their own lives and want other people to be miserable too? I think you're fabulous. I look forward to each and every one of your posts and use your ideas to enhance my cooking and health. Don't stop being awesome ever! p.s. I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR OWN COOKBOOK TO COME OUT. ;)
  • This looks delicious! My husband and I are recent spiralizing converts, and I know that this recipe will be in our rotation! Thank you for your lovely blog!
  • I love the blog and the email reminders. I can't use all the recipes because I follow a FODMAPs diet, so honey and onions and garlic are restricted. However, I love the ideas and the spirit of the blog. Thank you!
  • Love peanut sauce! Thanks for the recipe.
  • I love Skinnytaste recipes and would love a copy of Gina's new book!!!
  • I look forward to receiving your posts every day, and it greatly saddens me to read that you had to encounter some rude commenters. You handled it beautifully, though, both your comments in this post and your attitude toward it. Kudos. Keep up the outstanding work, thank you for sharing, much gratitude for improving my diet, and can't wait to try this recipe!
  • I've been a HUGE fan of Gina for years now, so I'm already buying a copy of her book, but would love this one to give to a friend (paying it forward!)...Can't wait for your cookbook too, Ali!
  • Thank you for sharing. Love the idea of a personal review from a trusted source. Can't wait for your new book.
  • I love both of your blogs!
  • I'd love to win the book to help with my healthy meal planning. I love both of your blogs and recipes!
  • My go-to recipe sites, your and Gina's!! Thanks for helping to keep me on track without skimping on tast!
  • Looks tasty!
  • ummmm anyone who buys Against All Grains or Against All grains Meals Made Simple will be getting MUCH MUCH more than one good recipe - both books are AMAZING - I have yet to make anything from either book that I did not completely devour AND i have yet to make a recipe from either of her books that someone who did not eat grain free would even notice that what they were eating was grain free. They are delicious NORMAL recipes made super healthy. You can't fix stupid, so anyone who goes out of their way to leave a nasty posting about sharing a recipe can go scratch and find something better to do with their time.
  • Oh my word. . . I have all of these things and a night with no one to please for dinner but myself. This is happening! Thank you for your website!
  • You're awesome, Ali! Don't mind the negative comments, just know you have loyal readers that appreciate all of your hard-work and your passion shines through on the blog! This recipe looks delish and I love that you've teamed up with Skinnytaste! I've been a big fan of Gina's for years :)
  • I'm obsessed with peanut noodles, and this looks amazing! Can't wait to try!
  • I love making recipes from yours and Gina's site. I would love to win the book
  • I have been waiting for YEARS for Gina to have a book come out! I'd LOVE to win a copy! Thanks for the giveaway!
  • Love your recipes and this looks wonderful. I follow several blogs, besides yours, including Against All Grain, and have both her cookbooks. I don't think those complainers are serious in eating healthy. They just want free stuff. As you said, they have an opinion. Thank them, bless them and move on. It's their problem. Don't make it yours! ;)
  • I love both Skinnytaste and your blog and it has really inspired me to be more conscious of what I eat and how just simple things like replacing carbs for veggies can still be tasty and filling. Can't wait to try out this recipe! :) Thank you for all your posts and hard work it is very appreciated!
  • I'm excited at the opportunity to win the new Skinnytaste book. I am determined to cook healthy and need all the help I can get.
  • I'm a huge fan of both Skinnytaste and Inspiralized, and love the idea of adapting some of the Skinnytaste recipes to use the spiralizer! Ali - haters gonna hate, your blog is one of the best healthy food blogs out there! Keep up the good work and stay positive.
  • Thanks so much for all the great recipes. I really have enjoyed using my spiralizer and appreciate the videos. You make cooking fun!

  • The Skinnytaste website has been a game-changer in my household. I've been able to convince my husband that healthy eating does not mean bland, yucky foods! Thanks to you and Gina!
  • Loving this website!! My husband who normally won't eat zucchini loves them once they are turned into noodles. Can't wait to try this recipe! I have a feeling it will become a favorite.
  • This looks so good! Can't wait to try it next week!
  • You are fabulous! Don't know how you do it day after day, with your fantastic recipes and funny personal comments. You are always kind and generous so don't let that negativity get to you. It just proves that a lot of people are reading you, and there is always that small percentage who want to be mean. I am having this recipe for dinner tonight!
  • the negative commenters are seriously ridiculous. you are one of a few different food bloggers i follow and in general you post recipes WAY MORE CONSISTENTLY!! the other food blogs i generally check once to twice a week (and these are all very well followed high profile food blogs) because there aren't always new things but i make sure to check inspiralized EVERY DAY! i would love to win the cookbook because COOKBOOKS!! who doesn't love cookbooks!! they're my favorite type of fun books to keep around. ps. we're almost engagement twins! i got engaged a few weeks after you and my ring is also a cushion cut in a halo that's all sparkle - minimal metal like yours! :)
  • Looks amazing!!! I'd sub the chicken for tofu to make it vegetarian but I am suucchh a sucker for peanut sauce! Yum yum! And hang in there with the negative comments girl…. You're killing it!!
  • I love Gina's recipes on Skinnytaste and have subscribed to her emails for some time. So excited to see this recipe - looks delicious!

  • I'd love to win the cookbook- love all of her recipes!! Thank you!!
  • Thank you for another great recipe! It is disappointing that other readers were so rude about the one recipe they could not view.

  • This looks delicious. I'd love to see the recipes in this book. Thanks for your awesome blog and all the great things you share.

We are IN LOVE with your videos, your recipes and your encouragement!! I think it is fabulous that you are endorsing other food bloggers and getting them some recognition out there. We have frequented the Skinnytaste recipes for a few years so it's awesome that you are combining your efforts. Even better news to hear that there is a Skinnytaste cookbook out.

  • I'm so sorry that mean people felt the need to comment on your blog. I love what you do! I love that you share other healthy chef's ideas. Helping people help themselves is what life is all about when it comes to health. Keep it up Ali!!
  • I just bought my first spiralizer and can't wait to try out some recipes. My friend sent me a link to your blog and I am looking forward to learning more. The cookbook would be a handy addition to my kitchen.
  • Love getting new healthy recipe ideas!
  • Thanks for spiralizing a skinnytaste recipe! Love both sites, and in fact o It was through the skinnytaste blog that I found you!
  • As a fan of Gina's blog/recipes, I'd love to own the Skinnytaste cookbook. Can't wait to try this recipe!:)
  • Yuuhhuuummmmm! Can't wait to try this :) Hope I win the book, but thank you regardless! :)
  • Well if I don't win the book, I'm definitely going to be buying it! I'm always looking for new and healthy recipes, and I absolutely love how veggies can be incorporated so many different ways. Ps...people who leave hurtful comments = jealous people.
  • I already pre-ordered her cookbook but would love another as a gift!
  • Thanks for sharing your spiralized version of the recipe, wish I were based in the US so I could enter the competition, but sending lots of love from the UK - just ignore those silly people with their hateful comments - they can't help themselves, concentrate instead on all the love from your genuine readers and followers - you're amazing x
  • You and Gina rock. You two are the ONLY bloggers I follow :-)
  • I'd love to win. The cookbook seems like one I would use often.
  • You and Gina are the best! I cook from both your websites!
  • This recipe sounds delicious. I love peanut sauce and inspiralized recipes. I am so sorry that you had angry people to deal with. I applaud and respect you for 'following the rules' about what you share. We need more people who understand the difference between right and wrong. I was disappointed that you couldn't share that recipe, and I wasn't certain I wanted to buy the book, so my solution was to put it on my Amazon wish list, so it can be a gift from someone (or from myself at some point).
  • Those who were unkind are simply jealous of your creative abilities and not worth worrying about. You truly have a gift and we are so lucky to be able to share in the results, thank you! Can hardly to try this recipe and make it a part of my growing list of tasty treats. Thank you for all your help!
    • Closed the above before saying why I'm interested in the cookbook! I am ALWAYS on the lookout for interesting, tasty and creative recipes. Sure looks like this cookbook is on the fast track to my heart & tummy!
  • Oh WoW! Didn't know there was a Skinnytaste Cookbook. Awesome!!!
  • Because I LOOOOVE Skinnytaste!!!!
  • Looks delicious!!! Can't wait to try it!
  • If this recipe is any indication of how excellent Gina's book is...I would love to explore even more of her amazing food ideas! :-)
  • I need help with ideas on spiralized meals.
  • Ali... I understand how you must feel... it hurts to the core when people make mean comments about what we do when what we do is so personal and we work so hard at it! Hang in there. Try to brush it off. I have come to believe it is just not possible to put ourselves out there doing what we are passionate about without a few detractors. You can't please everyone so take a deep breath and let it go. Keep doing what you love and all will be well. I'm a health and wellness director and always looking for new recipes to adapt for my newsletter (always give credit) and also healthy cookbook giveaways for my employees. Would be fun to check Gina's out. I will definitely be trying this recipe... always in search of the perfect peanut sauce recipe!! Thanks for all your Inspiralation!
  • I read a few comments before posting mine and after reading all the content it sounds to me a "collaberation cookbook" with both bloggers wouldn't be a bad idea! I love that someone mentioned angry posts = you've made it. So true in today's society! Sad but true. As always, this recipe has me drooling. Time to go to the store! Peanut sauce here i come! Keep doing 'you'! As long as your intentions are honest & moral there cant be anything wrong with it.
  • Will be try this soon. Thanks!
  • Well, I thought I had every kitchen gadget, but then I found your website. I've been spiralizing for a few weeks now and your recipes are fabulous. I love the candy cane beet and arugula salad. I also enjoyed your post and review of "Against all Grain". Danielle Walker's blog is wonderful. I purchased her book and I added it to my gluten-free, paleo library. I enjoy many food blogs and love learning about new resources. Your blog is amazing and every time I spiralize something, I love seeing the spirals as they come out of the machine. I think it even makes the vegetables taste better.....:)
  • I have loved every recipe I've tried from Skinny Taste. I'd love a copy of her cookbook. Thanks!
  • I love the Skinnytaste website! Gina is super creative! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in her cookbook!
  • All of Gina's recipes look so amazing! I would love to win a copy of her cookbook to see more of them!
  • This recipe looks delicious! Also am a big fan of Skinnytaste (and Inspiralized) in general. Thanks for the opportunity!
  • Can hardly wait to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing...
  • On my list to try! I just LOVE your Pad Thai recipe so I know I will love this one :)
  • Love this combination! Can't wait to try it!

  • i have been wishing for this cookbook since the first time I saw the cover.
  • I would love to win because I am always on the hunt for new recipes.
  • I've been making my own version of this one for a long time now. Mex eat I use English cucumbers instead of zucchini. I think it works better with the peanut sauce, since they always add julienned cucumbers and carrots on top anyway.
  • The sauce was delish, had mine with spiralised courgette, carrot and sweet potato. Added a bit more sriracha (maybe too much!)
  • Thank you ...for sharing another's cookbook and...for all you do, ongoing. Blessings.
  • This was so good when we had it last week that we're having it again this week! Love your recipes and Gina's.
  • Looks delish and on my list of food to make this week. Thank you!
  • I can't say that I've ever used 1/3 tablespoon or even 1/4 tablespoon. Are all of her recipes written with odd measurements? 1 1/2 teaspoons or other conversions seem more conventional.
  • This morning I modified this recipe using just one zucchini...my first use of the Spiralizer. It was delicious! Instead of using the stovetop, I warmed up the sauce in the microwave to save time. What a treat! Thank you. On to more recipes...
  • Am I doing something wrong? Every time I use my Paderno spiralizer my veggies come out as little chunks! Help please!
  • Sounds delicious! I’m all over these courgette noodles at the moment after having a spiralizer for occasionally! So I must try your recipe
  • I made this yesterday and just had the leftovers for lunch. Seriously one of my favorite spiralized recipes. The sauce is so flavorful and the veggies add great texture to this dish. I will definitely make again. I think mushrooms would complement this dish well.
  • So you only use the broccoli stems? What do you do with the florets then? Just put them in another dish?
  • The sauce was delish, had mine with spiralised courgette, carrot and sweet potato. Added a bit more sriracha (maybe too much!)
  • A recipe full of colors! I will try it this week, for sure.
  • Am going to try this recipe. It looks delicious. Would love to enter to win this book too. I've lost a lot of weight on Weight Watchers. Do you have the Smart Points values for this dish?
  • Just made this tonight. First time spiralizing. That was a challenge, but I was able to get it done. The finished product was DELICIOUS!! I will definitely make this many more times. Thank you.
  • Outstanding-thanks for sharing!
