Hi ran across an ad for calorie free noodles and I said to myself “yea right” we’ll see. So I hit their website and it’s true. Not only calorie free, soy free, and gluten free too! Taken from their website is the following:

The Miracle Noodle Low Down

* made of naturally water soluble fiber with no fat, sugar, or starch.
* contain zero net carbohydrates and zero calories, no gluten -made of a healthy natural fiber called Glucomannan.
* wheat & gluten free and kosher.
* Easily absorbs the flavors of any soup, dish, or sauce.
* are instant and come in a variety of styles
* have shown beneficial effects backed by medical studies for Type II Diabetes, Constipation, Obesity, and Cholesterol!
I had to try them. Well let me say they are a little daunting because of the preparation. It’s not difficult to do but there is this little matter of the smell. If you don’t rinse as they say, you will regret it, in a big way. I’ve done the research that’s been the biggest complaint. But if you drain them, rinse them a good 2-3 minutes, dry, microwave for about 1 min. and then dry again, I just use a couple paper towels, then combine with whatever you want. FANTASTIC. They are filling without the carb. I’ve combined them with, spaghetti sauce, leftover vegetarian fajita veggies, and frozen broccoli with carrots and garlic sauce. All were good and healthy. I love pasta and this will help fight the evil carbs. Don’t take my word for it, go try them, I liked them so much I joined up to be an affiliate.
So here is my affiliate link, you do not have to use my link if you don’t want to.

Being a vegetarian is becoming more and more acceptable so there are tons of websites out there. I’m going to share a few of my favorites here. They are not listed in any order of preference, but I follow them all.

1. FatFree Vegan Kitchen I’ve used many of these recipes and tend to take ones I find here and make little tweaks so one recipe can turn into 3 for me.

2. Smitten Kitchen not all vegetarian here but quite a few.

3. FoodGawker this site will drive you insane the pictures will make you so hungry. The whole site is not vegetarian, I did the search for them and the link you click should take you to so many you’ll be quite busy.

4. Global Vegan Kitchen this one isn’t so much about the recipes this is about the author of the most fantastic veg recipes you will ever find. I have several of her books and am always looking at getting more.

5. My Vegan Kitchen This kid is amazing, lots of recipes although sometimes hard to find on his site, if you find one you like print it right away it’s hard to go back later to find them. Love love love his recipes.
