Hello everyone!
Last night I was scrambling for something to eat for
dinner. I had no idea what to make, I
was getting hungrier by the minute, and I needed something quick and easy.
No big deal right?
Well, I took to Pintrest.
Naturally.
What I found was a whole lot of Gluten Free imitation
versions of casseroles that made me go… ICK!
The tricky thing with gluten free versions of gluten ridden foods, is
they often have higher calorie, carb, and additive numbers. I wanted something fast, but I didn’t want to
sacrifice quality or nutrition.
I found inspiration from a few different recipes and came up
with something that I thought I would enjoy!
Here is my recipe, I hope you enjoy!

PLATE AND ENJOY!
This was absolutely DELICIOUS and tasted just like Fettuccini
Alfredo, my fave pasta dish! It was
creamy, dreamy, and very satisfying! I
used 1 medium zucchini and 1 chicken breast and ate all of it. It was fantastic!
Please let me know if you try it and what you think!
Enjoy!
