If have been reading my blog the past few weeks, you have probably noticed a theme. Pasta. It’s been my obsession and I am all about low carb so pasta and low carb are pretty much enemies.
That’s where creativity comes into play!
I have been following a trend on my Instagram account with some of my Paleo folks and have seen something called “Cabboodles”. What are “Cabboodles” you ask? They are amazing. That is my answer.
Zucchini noodles were the greatest thing since sliced bread for me; however, cabboodles are definitely drawing a tie between the two.
Cabboodles are thinly sliced cabbage sautéed in some ghee butter, and topped with your favorite sauce that you usually use for your pasta dishes!
AND the great part about it is its SO FILLING! I had this for my lunches and dinners last week/ this week. And I am so full afterwards! Which is a good thing, because I am a snacker (especially in the afternoon) and this definitely keeps me satisfied until dinner!
I topped my cabboodles with my favorite turkey meatballs and some marinara sauce and it was perfection.
And for those days where you have worked out really hard, this dish makes for an excellent post-workout lunch! Keeping your body fueled is essential to get the results you want. That’s why I try hard every day so I can get to where I want my body to be. I am just excited with the progress I have made so far! I have lost inches in my waist and hips! And am loving my new clothes size! Feeling good 🙂

It's funny how veggies can be so filling! I haven't tried making caboodles, but am so tempted to run out to the store to buy some cabbage so I can make them for lunch.

Hahaha when I read "cabboodles" I totally thought you meant the plastic thing you all had in the 90's that held makeup and hair stuff. Way off. However, this dish does look delicious and totally filling!

I love caboodles. One of my besties has a low carb blog and I always dig the cool stuff she comes up with for it. This is another one I can add to my list of must try recipes. It just looks scrumptious. I'm a big meatball girl so this would be a hit with me and my family.

I love love love pasta. I hadn't heard of Caboodles before as anything other then a make-up case back in the 80s. Interesting dish!

There is just NO end to no-grain pasta ideas! I haven't tried cabboodles yet - will definitely give it a try! There is a new (or new to me) type of 100% quinoa pasta on the market, I've been eating those recently! Zucchini noodles are still my fave, though - we'll see how cabboodles are in comparison! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Aaaaaahhhh...cabboodles! I was looking forward to seeing what they were. I love cabbage (and ghee - yum), and it sounds pretty darn amazing with these turkey meatballs and sauce on top.
