The idea for this recipe came when I was experimenting with Ethiopian food. I’m not exactly a purist when it comes to cooking (all about that fusion food), and I’ve wanted to find a way to enjoy cottage pie more for years.

This plan uses a combination of Plan B for my lifting and hiiting program and nutrition course. … [Keep reading…]
The name of this dish sounds like an oxymoron. “Traditional, authentic style pad thai does NOT have Zoodles,” you yell. “Explain yourself!” If you insist. 😉 I love making Asian food that tastes as close to the original as possible, but I’m also on a health journey.
