Green Ginger Cream Pasta

September 24, 2012 By Heather Blackmon

.

You know what’s cool? When Kirk helps brainstorm recipes. Even cooler? When he creates new recipes for Meatless Monday from A-Z! For this week’s featured ingredient, he used Pickled Sushi Ginger that we already had on hand.

MMAZ Ginger

Not only does this recipe feature ginger, it also includes another September ingredient – edamame! The combination of these two ingredients results in a wonderfully fresh flavor, which works great on a light pasta.

The fresh flavors inspired me to try using this sauce on zucchini noodles. You may remember Katie’s guest post raving of these amazing noodles or Kristina’s recent recipe utilizing these amazing veggie spirals. I was happy that my suspicion was correct, this sauce was fantastic on freshly spiralized zucchini noodles!

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
