I commented earlier, but I hadn’t made the dish yet, so couldn’t rate it. OH MY. I seriously think this is my new favorite food… meal, whatever. 🙂 I keep scanning the ingredients to try to discover just why I love this so. And it is not just me; my ENTIRE family, down to the 4 yr old, LOVED this!! AMAZING: 6 stars+ This was only the second recipe I’ve tried of yours, as I’ve only owned the inspiralizer for a few months. (The first recipe was really good too!) I am now working my way thru your recipe section and finding some more! I am super excited to eat more veggies this way; thanks!

Ahhhh Ali… If I could tell my 29 year old self something it would be that life is about relationships and helping each other through this life. You are wise beyond your years and are spreading a wonderful message. I hope you will always be in that sweet spot you are now. AT almost 57, I can say that middle age has been putting me to the test. Staying fit becomes harder because you can get injured so much easier now and heal so much slower… and the menopausal belly fat hit me about 4 years ago. Still working to get that off. Not because I want to look like I did before turning 50, but because it makes me less healthy. For me it is not the scale, but the waist circumference that I am measuring. Everything in its time. I love your blog and I have many of your recipes in my arsenal! Cooking for yourself… eating real, whole foods… not too much… mostly plants – Michael Pollan’s words have never been more meaningful. Happy Vegan March!

SOOOO excited for this Vegan month! My husband and I are vegetarian, not vegan, but love to eat vegan when we can. Eating leftovers from last night for lunch as we speak and it is SO delicious. Excited for more March vegan recipes!

Love the post; common sense. We were not made, in real life, to look like pencil-thin models– at least not most of us. Often this is NOT healthy. Thank you for spreading the word! I had to smile tho… “at almost 29”. Sigh. I am almost 47. Even as a Physical Therapist, always into fitness & sports, I am having to accept the change that time inevitably brings. It is not always easy, though. 🙂 As you age, you will have to put this realistic, common-sense mentality into overdrive. I, personally, would be happy w/ just a “little jiggle” in a bikini…. after 6 kids & 46 years of what-life-has-thrown-at-me. BUT I AM SOOOO HAPPY; I am!! 🙂 🙂 Thanks for the great recipes!

Just enjoyed this with the hubby, and it’s definitely another inspiralized hit. The bolongese made six good-size servings for us!

LOVE this post!!! I’ve been on the same journey – trying to find acceptance, rather than that size two. I’ve never been healthier, more active and more grounded than I am when I am eating healthy and following my workout routine. Am I as small as I was in college? Nope, but then again that is no longer the goal. Thanks for this – definitely coming back to it, if I need motivation. Oh, and I love pulses as well!!

LOVE this!! I respect you for sharing and love every word, =it really resonates with me. I’m so happy for you and love how empowered you feel, and that you OWN it! It definitely sets the right tone and allows us to know that we can be happy with ourselves and love our bodies and souls without feeling ashamed! (And I don’t mean this just for women)

And side note, you and your lovely little Inspiralizer have drastically changed my life and my outlook on health. I may have mentioned it before, but after my wedding/honeymoon I gained 20lbs and, despite sweating my bum off at Exhale for 6 workouts a week, I never saw my body lose the extra weight. Fast forward to beginning to spiralize about a year ago, plus some smarter lifestyle changes/workouts, and I’ve lost it all – I’m actually in better shape than I was at my own wedding, haha!

Anyway, thank you again. You’re amazing!

I love this post, thank you for sharing your experiences and I totally agree with what you’re saying about your healthiest weight. This is something I’m struggling with myself. I became really ill while trying to be too light for my body as an international lightweight rower. I’ve recently finished doing sport at an elite level and I’m still adapting to what my body feels like doing less exercise and eating more. I’ve put on weight around my stomach, back and hips and I was feeling really fat, reading what others have wrote about their jiggle has made me feel better about myself and the changes my body is going through. Thank you!

I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but I love this post! Thank you for sharing this valuable information about “healthiest” weight. I’ve been disappointed that my weight hasn’t been going down lately even though I’ve been eating healthier and increasing the intensity of my workouts, but overall I FEEL better and I know my body fat % is going down, which is way more important than a number on the scale.
