Food to Get ‘That Glow’ Spriralized Zucchini with Veggies and Pine Nuts

img_6438

One of the most rewarding parts of growing my own food is being able to enjoy the bounty from garden to kitchen immediately. The benefit is obvious–you get fresh, nutritious produce immediately so there’s less loss of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

People are always complementing me on how my skin glows, but it’s not just topical creams and potions and make up trickery. It’s what goes inside that counts the most.

I try to make the majority of food that I consume daily to be mostly comprised of raw or minimally processed fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Not only do these vegetables hydrate my skin, the vitamins and antioxidants these delectable items contain leave their mark on my health, hair, and skin.

The meal you see before you, spiralized zucchini, with onions, Bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes, topped with basil and pinenuts was a happy accident. My husband’s coworker, who also has an organic garden, Had a bounty of zucchini and was giving them away. I had tons of sweet peppers, basil, and tomatoes to spare, So I thought that gently sautéing this mixture would make for a delightfully filling, low calorie lunch.

Definitely try this at home!
