Parsnips…

this looks really good I’ll have to try it! The root parsely is called Parsnips. and the root celery is called Celeriac

great to see you guys back!
and omgooosshhh it looks delicious!:) i cant wait to try it this weekend.

btw is that a metro i see you guys visiting?:) love that place haha. aand the outside view of your house is gooooooorgeous!

thanks for sharing.:)

Zuzana,

What do you eat for snacks? How much fruit for breakfast?

LOL So cute. They are parsnips.

Could you make this recipe without peeling the potatoes?

Washing fruit isn’t just for dirt and pesticides. Often times produce is not just handled by the produce department people but all the customers and GOD knows where their hands have been, LOL.

Hahaha Freddy didn’t want to go near that raw turnip–too funny! I always try to make my boyfriend try new things, but he never goes for it either.

Can’t wait to try this recipe it looks very cost friendly and very easy!

That white root vegetable = Parsnip. Going to try that recipe today.

Hey Zuzana and Freddy!

It’s a parnship!

There is also a great recipe that I do with parnship: parnship fries!

You just chop the parnship. Then you mix a bit of olive oil with nut butter ( I like to use a bit of almond butter and peanut butter) and you mix the panship into the mixture. Grill that on the oven for about 40 minutes and…. mmmmmm!

I’d like to suggest you a website that gives good vegan recipe. It could gives you ideas even if you are not vegan but vegetarian.

ohsheglows.com

She’s also Canadian :)

Cant wait to see the new workout!!! and thanks for sharing the recipe, going to have to try it out.

They’re called parsnips.

Just gotta say Freddy you are so cute and handsome! You guys are the perfect couple. I know how lame this sounds but I want to be just like you guys. lol

Hey Zuzanna!

The vegetable you wanted to know the name of is a Parsnip!
They are so yummy added to a pumpkin soup, along with turnips and swedes… I can’t wait to try you recipe!

Kylieanne

WOW! What an amazing home you guys have! It looks really special!

I always wash my fruits and vegetables. I usually wash them just enough so that there is no visible dirt. For fruit, I usually just rinse it very quickly under the faucet. For leafy vegetables, I rinse them 2 or 3 times in a bowl of water.

I have a friend who will scrub strawberries with a toothbrush just to make sure they are super clean.

I wash my fruit and veggies if they don’t come in a package (like if I have to pick them up to choose what ones I want) because that means other people could have touched them as well and it makes me feel better about eating them.

Super videt ten recept napsany v cestine na tve lednicce :)))

Hey guys! Good to have you back, although I will miss the beautiful scenes of Italy!

I am surprised to see you using what looks like white rice. I know you said it’s basmati, but can’t you still get it in a brown or whole grain variety?

Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like you eat very little.. even your hubby. :O

You’re right, there’s no way to wash all the pesticides off of fruits and veggies. But I figure that every little bit helps, and if I can get just 20% off well then over a life time of eating lots of pesticides (because I still can’t afford all organic) it will add up at least a little to my favor. Also, great point mentioned by someone else about who has been handling the produce. I always wash and scrub with a sponge.

The dish you prepared looks very Indian :o) Where did you learn the recipe? It must be really good. But try not to overcook your veggies, half of the nutrition value disappears under the cooking process. Chose raw, it’s so healthilicious!

yes i was my fruits and veggies.. not sure if that actually helps with anything.. but i feel better than not washing at all :)

looks like freddie enjoys helping out with dinner and eating while he is at it! hehe

what a lovely view from your kitchen ! i want a house like that! :)

recipe looks good! i would try it if only i have what the recipe calls for!

i have to say that I’m quite successful at reducing my meat intake.. if i do eat meat at all i tend to go for fish and seafood.. i don’t enjoy red meat any more.. makes me feel heavy and just bleh :)

My husband is on the skinny side(he says he is, i think he’s fine!) and he’s taking all these supplements and I’m so worried about his health in the long run.. nothing i can do about it though.. he’s convinced he knows what he’s doing :( .. i have to cook a lot of meat for him(so he can gain weight)

I’m sure there are a lot of “skinny” guys out there who feel they want to get bigger and find it hard to achieve… any tips for these guys ? ? ?

## oh how i wish it’s a struggle to gain weight .. LOL

Hello!
I’m French and I do not speak much English. I write to you and understand your writing, I use google translation “so excuse me for language mistakes.
I love your blog and your video. You have a way of life that is exemplary.
Good continuation has you and soon!

_______________________________________________________

Bonjour !
Je suis française et je ne parle pas beaucoup anglais. Pour vous écrire et comprendre vos écrits, j’utilise “google translation” donc excusez moi pour les fautes de langue.
J’aime beaucoup votre blog et vos vidéo. Vous avez une habitude de vie qui est exemplaire.
Bonne continuation a vous et a bientôt !

Welcome back home from your trip to Italy! I was listening to a Frank Sinatra CD and thought of you guys..”young at heart”. Those were great videos you took. So much fun. If I was in Italy I would have come back an immovable puff ball. You two look hot, how the heck do you do it?

Hi lovebird,is good to see you back home and relaxed:))I will try your recipe later because I love basmati rice and chilli:)I would ask about 2 things,first is-Could you tell me How much was your summary budget on your holiday?if is not top secret:))and second question is about this Stereo Love Workout-Can you tell expalin me first exercise please?I understood that I will do 25 little movements on each leg and 25 times I will switch legs????so 25 reps on each leg with 25 movements count as 1 rep??thanks for explain:)))

celery root = celeriac??

I have never realize that “petržel” is a such funny word:D And I am czech! Parsnip sounds much better:) The recipe looks delicious and I´m looking forward to do it:) Thanks!!

You guys are so lucky and sweet to be able to have nearly every meal together. My husband’s too busy at work that I always eat by myself….

looks great

You can try veggie wash. Comes in a spray bottle in the states.

Zuzana,
Here in New Zealand we call that vegetable “Parsnip” and it is used alone and along side carrots. I have really enjoyed your travel reports. You guys are number 1#.

Cheers,
Chris

haha :) We say Petersilienwurzel ;)
enjoyed this, thank you very much!

I forgot to mention that I have lived in America and I have NEVER found root celery, anywhere! ?! Do they even have it?

Looks delish, can’t wait to try!
Since you said you’ll be eating alot of salad, I’d like to share my favorite salad dressing recipe, it’s called American Hippie:

4 T Tahini
4 T Lemon Juice
2 T Braggs or Tamari
2 T Water

mix up until it’s smooth and serve on a salad of whatever you have, I love it on greens, tomatoes, chickpeas, carrots, toasted sunflower seeds with whole wheat bread. So good!

Hi Zuzi and Frederick

Stana

Welcome home – I’ve loved watching your Italian adventure videos! Parsnips are so yummy – kinda zingy – I’m looking forward to trying out this recipe.

If you like parsnips, you might like this hearty vegetarian recipe from whole foods: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/1820
I never make that recipe in those cute little dishes though…I just put it in a big casserole dish. The recipe completely fills a 9X13 dish.

So did Freddy change his mind about turnips?

Looking forward to your next workout!

Nice recipe It is so exotic but very simple. I love parsnips and chick peas and also rice, although I eat brown rice instead of white.

groovy shirt there Freddie. I will try this recipe soon, when it cools down a bit.

glad you are back

Your home is so lovely and cute lol thank you for the recipe! Im going to do grocery shopping today, so i cant wait to try it :) By the way, what do you have for snacks?

Haha! That part when Freddy said he doesn’t like turnips and when Zuzanna did this hair flipping and eye thing then he said, yeah let’s give it a shot :D

Hi!! Im so happy for you guys and the amazing trip you had. Welcome back :D I wanted to ask how the shoes worked out for you guys? Were they comfy and durable enough to do all the walkning and hiking? Im giulty of always overpacking even for just weekend trips, so any advice and comments/ctitiques you guys have on the accesories you guys used on ur trip would be very helpful!

Hey, i work in restaurants and when we risen out food, we use a little, tiny, amount of hand soap. and let it sock few mins. rise well. hope that helps lol.

OMG! I definitely have to try out this recipe!

The two of you make me laugh, it is funny watching you cook and the travel videos were great. Thanks for sharing the info on the about page.

Wow! I did the Stereo Love yesterday before i knew that you even did! Haha! We must have been on the same brain wave length ;)

HAHA…Yes,,,it’s called Parsnip…my mom uses it always for soups and salads(we’re Polish)

I love the view from your kitchen! I was looking for a great recipe to make for my dad’s birthday(he’s a super health freak) and your recipe is perfect!

PS I know it’s kinda lame but Zuzanna you’re my role model:) You’re a great person for young girls to look up to.

YES..always scrub fruits and veggies! Pesticides. The “dirty dozen” worst offenders: nectarines, peaches, apples, cherries, lettuce, bell peppers, celery, pears, spinach, strawberries, grapes (imported) and potatoes. Go to: foodnews.org for complete list.

These fruits & veges cannot be grown very well without pesticides therefore the result is they need scrubbing (there is actually a wash that you can buy in the produce aisle.) Some folks just use a touch of foam soap on the skins of thick fruits/veges such as apples. Personally, I wash off my apples and rub them very hard all the way around with cloth before eating them. As for strawberries, I wash and rinse them using my thumb all the way around the strawberry to the point of almost rubbing off their tiny seeds to rid of as much bad as I can as my family loves them too much not to eat.

Zuzana, you must be pregnant. YOur portion is bigger than usual and it’s been weeks from your last workout. What’s going on,Girl? :-) Love you guys!

Glad to see your enjoying your vegetarian experiment. I would suggest you consider harmonizing your protein intake some though – being sure to get adequate levels of the essential amino acids. After a decade of being vegan, I’ve realized how important that is. Adding hemp seeds, green and yellow split peas, and brown rice together provide an optimally complete protein.

That looks yummy ! And since I love turnips, I’ll certainly go directly with the Plan B version ;)

I usually also rinse my fruits and vegetables a few seconds, more to remove dirt and sand than anything else.

Have you heard of the “dirty dozen” ? This is a list of fruits and vegetable that are highly contaminated by pesticids; washing and peeling helps but doesn’t remove all those bad chemicals. It’s really worth buying them in their bio version whenever possible. And there is also a list of “clean” fruits and veggies which don’t contain much pesticids, even when conventionally-grown. Check it out: http://www.foodnews.org/sneak/EWG-shoppers-guide.pdf

Welcome back home guys !

~ Nathalie ~

It’s kind of hit or miss on the veggie washing for me…I know, that’s really SCARY and INSANE to a lot of people. I have a four year old boy and a baby on the way, so I try to be a bit more vigilant (when I DO wash, I use a natural solvent), and try not to let my kid eat TOO many things that he finds on the street or at the playground…Anyhoo, I think Zuzana has learned the name of her white carrot by now, (and Freddy, you’re in good company because I think you need to somehow be genetically predisposed to an appreciation of root vegetables in order to find many of them palatable…). Otherwise, with lovingly prepared food, a candlelit table, and a most peaceful evening setting, you two have inspired your viewers to eat healthfully, and live well. THANK YOU, as always…
Bon Apetit!

I spray Veggie Wash on my fruit and vegetables and then rinse them; unless it’s porous like strawberries, then I spray some in a bowl with water and swish them around. It works really well to get wax and dirt and stuff off :D

Hi guys

so i have a question. I really am trying to loose weight in my lower body. basically i want a tonnes butt. lol

can you please do a work out that focuses a lot on lower body and sculpting it.

what else do you suggest. Like i am not fat but i just doin’t like the way my thighs and bumm look. I feel like i have done everything from squats to dead lifts.But i am just not happy.
please helpppp

This vegetable it’s parsley! :) In Polish (my language) – pietruszka :) Sweet dogs :D

Something I forgot to say is that sometimes I feel really yucky and I don’t want to work out or do anything, I call it the “blob syndrome” when I come to your website I instantly get inspired to workout and continue living healthy, so even if I don’t find a new work out and I look at previous posts, I get such a charge and start working on what I will do for my workout.
great encouragement from you 2.

You should defenitly do more videos like this , me and my family are all trying to eat better and were doing okay but we need more foods like this. It would be great to put more recipes or if you know a website I can follow. When I see recipes on the internet , all over , I dont know if its actually good or not. You guys are awesome keep doing what you are doing !:)
Besos,
Valeria

I’ve never seen ground salt! So what does a turnip taste like anyway? Aaaand, that was a beautiful view from the window,Frederick. I have to try this recipe,I love chickpeas,but I will probably omit the turnip. thanks for sharing. Hey, Frederick, have you ever prepared supper without Zuzana’s help? I have heard from the “Dr. OZ” tv show that one should always wash produce even if it says “ready to eat”,because they can still harbor e.coli and salmonella, among other little critters.

the veggie you didn’t know the name of is called a “parsnip.” =)

Have you ever tried a Green Monster? It’s basically any kind of smoothie hat has SPINACH in it. Can you believe it? If you make them right they actually taste amazing and give you so much energy. Check out this site for recipes:)

http://greenmonstermovement.com/?cat=3

PS here’s a site for tons of vegan/vegitarian recipes

http://ohsheglows.com/recipes/

This recipe looks delicious! I love when you guys post what you eat.

On another note, I just wanted to warn you guys be careful what you feed your dogs…I read somewhere a crazy long list of foods harmful to dogs and cats and I keep it posted on my fridge. I didn’t see parsnips on the list though, so I think Callie will be okay :-).
Here is a link to one of the lists I found:
http://www.dogster.com/forums/dog_health/thread/353426

For a healthy brown sugar substitute, you can try cane sugar, which is sugar in its whole form. Brown sugar is just white sugar with a tiny bit of molasses added back in. Great recipe, looking forward to trying it!

Hi guys! I think it would add more nutrients to your dish to keep the potato skins ON instead of peeling them off, it is where all of the nutrients are in the potatoes. I prepared potatoes once in Ireland, first peeling them, and all my irish friends scoffed in horror that I was removing the most nutricious part :) i learned my lesson!
love and light to u both…

That recipe looks soo good. I will definitely try it. Your new meal plan sounds good. It’s simple which is great. BTW, I definitely wash my vegetables and fruits.

how do you manage to eat just fruit in the morning? For some reason I can manage that for about an hour and then I am dizzy from hunger yet again

You guys should try making a stir-fry with pan seared veggies, quinoa and tofu. Cooking the veggies only a couple minutes allows them to retain the vitamins and minerals. Quinoa is loaded with protein and fiber and tofu as well. I have changed my diet since you posted that eye-opening video on your site and have come up with some great meat alternative recipes that are quick and have a lot fewer steps.

Hi ! The vegetable that you ask for the name, in french it’s “panais” so in english I think it’s “parsnip” ! =)

You made a really good job together !

This recipe looks great! I always wash produce. Buy organic, that is even better.

Have you tried soups where you cook and puree cauliflower?

Its great plain or in soups with other veggies like mushrooms, corn, eggplant, potatoes and so on.

I also just tried a recipe with cooked potato, onion, garlic, mushrooms, and barley, puree half of the soup/stew mixture and add back to pot to mix all together. So its like a very creamy, filling, flavorful, thick soup/chowder.

I’m sure the soup would be good with spinach or kale cooked and added to make it more nutritious.

I think most people know that they’re not going to get rid of the chemicals in produce by running it under water, they do it to get rid of whatever dirt might be hanging around. Root vegetables and leafy greens are usually full of dirt, and anything that stayed in the store for a few days is bound to have accumulated some dust (plus, like someone already said, god knows how many people have handled your produce). That’s why you wash your fruits and veggies :)

Hi Zuzana,

You could substitute Celery itself for Celeriac (aka Celery Root) it wouldn’t be as strong in flavor, but is better I would think than Turnips as an approximation.

Take care,
–Chris

Welcome home again!
It have been very funny to follow you on your trip to Italy :)
Can´t wait for your new workout!
Love ya all :D

Nice recipe i agree with your husband about the turnip i hate it too. However when i was younger my mom use to peel it, cut it up and put sugar on it and leave it over night. The liquid that comes off we use to drink when we were sick. i hated it but it work, now i just eat healthy so i won’t get sick. Its sexy that a man is willing to help out in the kitchen.

Good Stuff! I wish I was a better cook. I’ll experiment and see what comes out….

Hi Guys!

Welcome back! Enjoyed viewing your Italian escapade :) I just read a recent article in Health Magazine that stated that you should wash/rinse your vegetables even if they are organic. While packaging these items residue, dirt and sometimes small critters remain on them and it is advised to rinse before eating even if the bag says ready to eat. Zuzana what happened to the turnip in the ingredients list of the recipe? Did you opt to delete it because it would be better without it? Just wondering.

Thanks!

Hello guys,

I cooked this meal for my boyfriend and I last night… it was soo yummy. I did have to switch the chilli for cumin as Im allergic to chilli so it did still need a little more of a kick. Not sure what else I could add in. Any ideas??

x

I wash my fruits and veggies with 1 gallon of cold water with maybe a teaspoon or two of vinegar and a pinch of salt dissolved in (very small amounts of each)

soak them for maybe 10-15min in that mixture then rinse them in cold water

Looks yummy!! You two are too cute : )

Hi,Zuzzana
I’m new here, I live in Germany and appreciate your workouts I’m vegetarian too.
A cool recipe for you:

Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup water

1 cup organic quinoa, ( rinse quinoa before cooking)

2 cups fresh blueberries

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blueberries and cinnamom; transfer to four bowls and top with pecans or walnuts.
Enjoy

Glad you guys are back!!
I like the idea of healthy eating and I alway been aware of what I eat.
But Zuzana, everything is in morderation, since you don’t take any supplements if I’m correct. Don’t forget the Iron,Calcium and other important minerals for women in your diet.

Good luck :D!!

So glad you guys are back. I’m excited for a new workout from you! And I’ll need to try this recipe. Thank you!

Looks delicious!….was is basmati rice?
the brand?

Hey Zuzana,

I noticed u were using basmati rice. I make a similar vegetarian meal for breakfast, but I substitute roti for rice. Since you share your delicious recipes I thought I would share one with you! Here’s my recipe (use the same amount of potatoes and chick peas u did):

1.) Cut potatoes into quarters and place into a bowl. Open the can of chick peas and place into the same bowl. Chop about a handful of scallions and 3 cloves ofgarlic very finely into the bowl.

2.) Place a spoonful of black masala and a spoonful of curry powder into the bowl as well as some salt to taste and mix.

3.) Heat some oil (enough to cook the veggies) and place about a spoonful of brown sugar into a pot.

4.) As soon as the brown sugar starts to carmelize (brown and bubble) place all the veggies into the pot and stir vigorously and cover with a lid, don’t wait to long or the sugar will burn!

5.) After about a minute put some water into the pot and let it cook until soft, lower heat but make sure its boiling still. Taste to see if it needs more salt.

You can find black masala and curry powder and even already prepared roti at any indian grocery store.

I made it yesterday for dinner. Delicious ! Also added cayenne pepper and used twice as many carrots ( they have lots of sugar in them ) and that way I could aliminate the sugar.
Will be making it very often!
Soooooo happy you are back and new rutine is here!!!

zuzanna….when you cut it open and it was a beet..why didn’t you just make borsch while you were at it??

Ahoj,

odporucam male vylepsenie pre ulahcenie Tvojho zivota…
Kup si skrabku na cistenie zemiakov, mrkvy, petrzlenu atd. Je to s tym ovela rychlejsie a lahsie a skrabka stoji 20CZK, takze $1 :-)) Navyse ju mozes pouzit aj na jablka…

…dakujem za Vase stranky a nech sa dari

Looks delicious! I’ll try it!

to cut onions without tears why not use manual food processor, you do workout while make diner :). Just an idea.
Thank you for your videos.

Hi guys! I am new to your site and I am really enjoying the workouts so far. I just had a baby 5 months ago, I was in great shape before the baby and now I’m ready to get back to my “old” self. Thanks for the motivation!
I soak all of my fruits and veggies in salt water. I know I can’t get rid of all the pesticides, but salt kills bacteria and is edible, so I figure it can’t hurt to let it soak for a few minutes. I rinse it well and feel much better about eating it. Don’t know if it truly helps much, but in my mind it does:)

That was delish! I too, could not find Celery Root anywhere. I went to three stores and nobody had it. Even Whole Foods did not have it. So i went with the turnip like you did and i actually liked it. I never thought i would. Even raw… (I had to try it since you said it was soo good), kinda sweet to the taste.
My husband liked it too! He does not like onion, but of course i didnt tell him that the paste was made almost entirly of onion and a little potatoes, until after he tasted it and said he liked it!! So, all in all, i’m happy with it. Thx again!

This was SO good! I made this yesterday for dinner too and there were no leftovers! I did fudge the recipe a little bit – instead of the can of chickpeas, I added a pack of Tasty Bite’s Chunky Chickpeas which have this great seasoning on them. I must say it was delicious! I definitely recommend trying this as well as checking out the rest of Tasty Bite’s line – all of it is vegetarian! Thanks for the delicious recipe and cool vid. Cheers!

LOL

I keep remwinding the part where Freddy says “Ohh My God, That’s Discusting…”

Hilarious scene!!

What an awesome recipe! I didn’t have most of the main ingredients, but I did have potatoes and a head of cauliflower, so that’s what I used as the base. It came out AMAZING.

BTW, I think you’d really enjoy mashed cauliflower. You make it just as you would mashed potatoes, but lighter and healthier :)

just a little tip… when sampling your food… use two different spoons and use one of them to get the sample from the food and drip it onto the other one without direct contact and taste from this one… that avoids that your spittle gets in contact with the food and destroys its consistence. spittle has the stupid feature to disintegrate organic material =) and thus makes food watery.

a good cook once gave this tip to me and I just wanted to share it with you.

btw. strawberry and pinapple… AAARRRRRR… these are my favorite fruits :D yummy! very delicious food you prepared there… just as always ;)

bye bye

gosh I like the whole scene when freddy says “oh my god that’s disgusting…” and until zuzana says “IF YOU LOVE ME you’re gonna try it…” *silence* *making that cute facial expression* the whole scene is just too sweet ^^

please do not look a way when you cute any tipe of food like you did in a cooking clip i want you to keep you fingers

now i well ask you soming lol do you have a cook book with all the food you cook if not please make one so me and my soon to wife can by one lol keep up the good work I love your work out clips oh thanks for travel ider sisley

If you still have some of those Rosemary sprigs in the fridge, take a couple, pull off a few of the very bottom leaves and put them on your windowsill in some water. Keep the water filled up enough to always be touching the bottom inch or so of the sprig and within a few weeks you’ll have roots and can plant it in a pot. With a little patience, you’ll have a free plant and you’ll always have fresh rosemary for your recipes! :) You can do it with Thyme too.

Hi guys,

I love watching your recipe videos, and it’s great to see you exploring more vegetable dishes with your new diet.

Something to think about: You might want to try brown basmati rice with your meals instead of white basmati. It takes longer to cook, but adds more complex carbs and fibre – really healthy. Brown rice also has more nutrients in it.

Looking forward to more cooking videos…

MLG

I think you used parsnip – the white carrot shaped root vegetable – very good for you.

The vegetable that resembles a white carrot is called a parsnip. Parsnips grow well in places like Canada where the growing season is short, as they need frost in order to develop their flavour. They also have way more vitamins and minerals than their cousin, the carrot!

Kezza,

Hope this helps: I like to add raw clove or two of garlic at the end of a freshly cooked dish to give it extra kick :)

the “celery root” in the video is actually called a parsnip
Celrey Roots are round bulbous things…this in the video is like a bigger white version of a carrot.
Parsnip.

:)

heyyy Zuzana and Freddy, I loved watching your trip to Italy. Very fun and interesting videos to watch :)
Glad you two had fun. This recipe looks delicious, gotta try it out :). Zuzana, i love how you said ” if you love me you will try it ” lol, i just love that, i do it as well with my husband :) and its good that freddy helps, good man there :)

The white carrot is a parshnip i think :P

yo yo Zuzie and Freddy,

This dish is my new addiction – GUESS WHAT? I did sweet potatoes and you don’t even need that sugar. Tasty!!! Feel better, Freddy!

Hi!!!!!! Here’s one with Zucchinis! I love them beacuse you can make them in many ways and they are basically full of water!

Summer Vegetable Gratin

INGREDIENTS
2-3 large zucchini, sliced at slight angle 1/4″ thick
2 summer squash, sliced at slight angle 1/4″ thick
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons fresh basil, torn or roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9×13 glass casserole dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Prepare vegetables by slicing zucchini and summer squash at a slight angle, about 1/4″ thick. Slice onions and halve cherry tomatoes. Put vegetables and basil sin a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine. Add vegetables in layers to casserole dish. In small bowl, combine minced garlic, panko and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle mixture over top of vegetable casserole.
Bake in 400 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are soft and bread topping is golden.

Here you have another recipe with ” calabacines” (zucchiny in spanish)
A kiss!!!!

Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks

INGREDIENTS
3 large zucchini, sliced longways, halved and cut into sticks
2 eggs
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried garlic powder
Olive oil spray
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray olive oil spray on large baking sheet. Set aside. Slice zucchini into long planks. Cut planks in half then slice long into sticks. In large shallow bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, set aside. In large shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic powder.
Working with 3-4 zucchini sticks at a time, start breading process by dunking and completely covering zucchini with egg mixture. Take zucchini sticks out of egg mixture, allowing an extra egg to drip off, and place into breadcrumb mixture. Gently coat the zucchini stick completely with breadcrumb mixture. Place breaded zucchini stick onto baking sheet.
Continue this process until all zucchini sticks are breaded and on baking sheet. Spray each zucchini stick with olive oil spray and place into 425 degree oven. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Using a spatula, flip each zucchini stick and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

Hello :) I’m from Romania and I just wanted you to know that in romanian that vegetable is called “patrunjel” also :)) It was really funny to hear you say that word! I’m a begginer and your website made me start exercise more and hope to make some progress soon. Wish you 2 all the good in the world!
Andreea

Hi, Thank you so much for this recipe, it looks amazing! I am a vegetarian, and I love eating healthy food so I love having more options for dinner that don’t require meat! I can’t wait to make this sometime!

This is an awesome recipe, thanks guys! Zuzana u are my idol! I love ur workouts and ur food!

Zuzana: You asked about the white root vegetable that you added to the carrot shreds. Its english name is Parsnip, which has very similar flavor of carrots but perhaps just a little sweeter.

Chuck Premoe

How many servings is this?

Wow! My four year old (who declared that she no longer liked vegetables several months ago) actually ate this! I mixed it together with rice soaked in buttermilk and she loved it.

Now I’m hungry. Awesome guys! Can’t wait for the next food video! PS I’m gonna get organized and begin a comprehensive work-out routine next month. I ran a half marathon in 2009 and was really hard for me but I finished (2:10 hrs). But with your work out routine, I can see that would benefit me greatly on my next marathon. Thank you guys for all that you do.

After reading this article, I went downstairs to decide what to make for dinner so i could pull something out of the freezer. I chose fish and really had no idea how it would turn out. But it was really good! This is the recipe I made and it serves 4-5 people.

+ 5 small pieces of fish
+ half a sweet potatoe
+ split peas (Im not sure how much I used, I just poured)
+ 1 pepper (choose your fav colour)
+ 1 or 2 grated carrots (i used pre grated)
+ 2 apples cut into small pieces (a little smaller than bite size)
+ 2 green onions cut into small pieces
+ bite size pieces of cheese (i used old cheddar)

I boiled the sweet potatoe and split peas while I was cutting up the ingredients. Once it was ready, I dumped it all (minus the cheese) into a big frying pan with some water to cook it all up together with the fish. I also added some sea salt, pepper, and chili powder for taste. Once I knew the fish was cooked I added the cheese to the top so it could melt over the meal. Once the cheese melted it was ready to be served. careful its hot!

Hi Zuzana, I was wondering as you said you and Freddie choose to include or exclude meat form your diet but most of the times you exclude it, so what about like fish (salmon, tuna, sardines) do you include these in your diet as well??

i’m going to try this..i need to research what a root celery and root parsley is first and if they sale them in the nearest store.
