This week has been CRAZY! For the past month I’ve had a looming feeling like things are changing. Does that ever happen to you? Where you sense something is about to happen, but you can’t quite put your finger on it so instead you lose sleep and stress about it for weeks?! Yep, it’s awesome, but I have to say that usually I’m right. Somethings going on and intuitively I know it. It just takes a while for my mind, body and the universe to get on the same page.

Anyways, long story short because of all the craziness (which I hope to share on the bloggy soon) I haven’t been as into cooking elaborate meals. I imagine that even the most incredible chefs go through weeks where they eat grilled cheese every night. There’s something to a simple recipe, meal or food. Now I don’t think I’m alone in my increased cravings during stressful times, but I usually try to indulge sensibly, especially when it comes to fried food. Honestly, my body HATES fried food so I try to listen. Last night I was craving the crunchy salty signature that usually goes hand in hand with fries. Only zucchini seemed like the perfect substitute for the traditional potato frites.

These are crunchy and salty, but still relatively healthy. Plus, I’m kinda obsessed with ketchup. (I buy organic to avoid corn syrup). Any excuse to dip in ketchup is a good one around here lately. Maybe it’s my half marathon training that has me craving those extra electrolytes.
