My car is doomed. Legit doomed. The latte incident almost 2 weeks ago has ruined my car. I went in, spent $50 getting it detailed, I’ve been keeping it excessively clean (meaning I don’t leave behind the stems of my half eaten figs in the cup holders- I’m so gross) and how does it repay me? Smelling like child vomit. Ok, that’s kind of untrue. It just smells like rotten milk, which is often what children smell like. And it won’t go away. Especially since it’s been around 70 degrees in Colorado every day (oh f*ck yeah!!) my car is warm with milk-gone-bad smell wreaking havoc. So I bought Febreez. That sh*t doesn’t work. It makes me cough and then smells like Febreez milk. I’m mad. With my ’97 Civic that smells like a day care center, I am bound to literally NEVER go on a date. My car has doomed my dating life.
Speaking of day care centers and smelly children, this commercial is ABSOLUTELY one of the most inappropriate commercials I have EVER seen. Every time I see it on tv, I feel sick to my stomach. It’s just not ok. Luv’s marketing geniuses…what in the hell were you thinking?
I leave for L.A. soon!! It has been 80 degrees out there the past few days. Yep. Gorgeous. That means beach time (ew, swimsuits), time on the pier, time at CrossFit South Bay annnnnnnnnd eating on the patio at many restaurants! I’m gonna just video the sh*t out of things! Like everything I eat, the CrossFit Open WOD 12.3, and any weird sh*t Sergio and his friends do in public. I’m gonna be so annoying with my camcorder. Tourist style. Fanny pack is a must. And a visor. Is that how you spell it? I should ask my mom. She rocks those things. She’s such a BA.
Stop sh*tting yourself from this ingredient list. It’s really not as complicated as it looks. It you want a good tasting curry soup, seasonings are everything. So suck it. It’s worth it. It’s delicious.
Thanks for the recipe idea James!
Chicken Coconut Curry Noodle Bowl
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1lb chicken, chopped into 1 inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3–4 cups of spinach or kale (I used kale)
- 1 (14oz) can coconut milk
- 2 cups vegetable broth (no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Cream Concentrate (optional-it makes an even creamier curry)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam marsala
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
- 2 limes, sliced
- cilantro, to garnish
- green onions, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut your spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise, removed seeds and excess threads, place open side down on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until spaghetti squash gives a bit when you poke it.
- While spaghetti squash cooks, pull out a large soup pot or saucepan, place over medium heat and add your coconut oil.
- Add your garlic, once it becomes fragrant, add your onion and bell pepper.
- Let that cook down for about 5 minutes until the veggies become slightly soft.
- Then add your diced chicken and cook for around 8 minutes until no pink is visible on chicken. (you will be cooking it longer so don’t worry if it’s not fully cooked)
- Add your coconut milk, vegetable broth, spinach or kale, coconut aminos, sesame oil, fish sauce and all spices. Mix to incorporate.
- Cover and let cook for around 5 minutes or until kale/spinach is wilted and flavors are deliciously mixed together.
- When your spaghetti squash is done cooking, use a fork to remove all the thread.
- Place threads in a large bowl, pour your coconut curry soup over the “noodles” then squeeze some lime juice on top and garnish with a bit of cilantro and green onions!
This is a must try for me! Coconut curry is comfort food!
Be careful if you try the vinegar. I spilled marinated veggies in my car once. The stench was so bad that it made my eyes water whenever I got in my car. I had to leave my windows open for days to get the smell to die down enough to be bearable.
And have fun in LA. I lived there for a few years. It’s a great town! Lots of really good food!
Thanks Tricia, I’ll be sure to be careful lol and I will definitely be consuming a lot of the good food there!
You are so right about Febreez!! That crap doesn’t do anything. Well, except cause cancer, lol. Your recipe on the other hand, awesome! Thanks!
I basked in the cancer today. shame
The recipe looks awesome! Can’t wait to try it!
While you’re in the South Bay you should come WOD at Code 3! We’re just a few minutes away in Torrance 🙂
I’ll see what I can do Trina!! Thanks for the invite!
Enzyme based cleaners are designed to attack and remove proteins and their associated odors. I’ve had tremendous success with them.
Interesting, thanks Stephen!
This looks RAD!!!!!!
Also, I’ve successfully used vinegar when my male cat pissed on my super expensive motorcycle backpack. And cat pee is the WORST SMELL EVER.
I’ve also used hydrogen peroxide, but be careful. It’s a bleaching agent, but I’ve never, EVER had it turn anything stark white or anything close to it. Awesome for getting out stains and smells.
Juli, I’m battling indigestion for like, 4 days now. I wanna cry 🙁 🙁 I gotta fast this mothereffer out!!!
That sounds awful thanks for telling me about your digestive tract
I don’t have any get-the-smell-out advice, but I will try this soup. As I can’t just leave well enough alone, I may try it with kelp noodles from Sea Tangle, instead of the spaghetti squash. Easy, low-carb and full of good marine minerals!
I’ve still never tried kelp noodles, i’m not sure where to find them!
You can get kelp noodles at natural foods stores and Asian markets. I can’t find them at a better price than iHerb.com, though: http://www.iherb.com/Sea-Tangle-Noodle-Company-Kelp-Noodles-12-oz-340-g/38220?at=0 I buy a few at a time, as they are shelf stable when unopened and you get free shipping with orders over $20. If you’d like to use my referral code ( ZOK219), I believe you’ll get $5 off your first order. Anyone’s welcome to!
AND…I made this recipe last night with the kelp noodles (used two packages, because we like things noodly around here), and a couple of other additions (a carrot, fresh ginger and chicken broth instead of veggie), and it was FANTABULOUS! Cut up the noodles and let them simmer for a while with the chicken and veggies so they soften up, otherwise they’re a bit chewy. Thanks so much for the idea.
Thanks so much for the link Debra!
So I just finished cooking this. Tastes goooood! I kinds double it and added shrimp. Thanks for the recipe Juli!

That’s awesome! Glad you liked it Jen!
Okay, so I know you’ve gotten a ton of advice and products to help your car! And even the same that I’m going to recommend here, but what’s one more?! So my son threw up all over our couch and while I was cleaning him up, of course it soaked into the couch. So now I’ve got milk vomit in my couch–gross! BTW, I have a super sensitive nose. I used some carpet shampoo to clean up the inital, but that didn’t get rid of the smell. So then I poured white vinegar on a rag and blotted that into the cushion. Followed that up with water (again on a rag) to help rinse the vinegar out, which it really didn’t. Then followed that up with baking soda heavily sprinkled on the cushion. I rubbed that around and into the cushion, creating a paste. I let that sit overnight and dry. Once it was fully dry, I vacuumed it up. Smell all gone. Good luck with your car!!
Oh, going to try this recipe tonight for dinner. Will let you know how it turns out!
Thanks for the tip Rena!!

Made this tonight for my parents and they LOVED it!!! I have been helping my mom understand the concept of paleo eating and this recipe led her to tell me tonight that she wants to convert to eating only paleo! Thanks for the recipe 🙂 I’m kind of obsessed with your blog
That’s awesome!! Keep converting them without them even knowing!!
Yummy! Just made this for our family of 7 and everyone loved it! I was in too much of a hurry to make the squash, so we just had the soup part… can’t wait to try it all together!
Glad you guys liked it!!
