Kitchen Sink Pasta Salad

So I call this one Kitchen Sink Pasta Salad. Here was my plan...open the fridge, grab everything that needed to be eaten...and throw it on some pasta. Brilliant! I am a regular Betty Crocker :)

Here is the veggie base: carrots, onions and tarragon ( I added, spinach and turkey as well)

I drizzled the whole wheat pasta and veggies with olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar (who am I kidding? I tipped the balsamic too fast and had a little mess on my hands) and tossed in some fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

Ahh how I love easy cooking. Don't you?

Whole Wheat Pasta and Tea

After all of the meatball sandwiches, cheese dip, and mounds bars I needed to have some Candida friendly food. I made a whole-wheat pasta, with spinach and goat cheese and a little pesto mixed in. Pau d’ Arco tea on the side; great for a Candida diet. For a healthy choice add more veggies and protein and less pasta.

Whole Wheat Pasta

I am really missing the point on this meal. The ratio should really be mostly veggies, followed by protein, and then things like whole wheat pasta and ricotta cheese in the smallest portions. My thought…it is better than other choices I could have made; burger and fries, mac and cheese etc.

Everything on this plate is Candida safe!
