Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Roasted brussels sprouts

How are you feeling about Brussels spouts?  Do they bring up childhood memories of being stuck at the dinner table for hours until you finished every last one?  Do you have memories of gagging each time you ate one?  I do!  I use to hate Brussels sprouts, especially ones that were boiled.  They were sodden and vaguely buttered and hard to chew.  Then I tried them roasted, and I was converted.  Roasting them takes away that bitter taste and brings out their nutty flavor.  I’m hoping to convert those of you that are Brussels sprouts haters to Brussels sprouts lovers.

OK, let’s get started!  You don’t need much to make these;  just some olive oil, salt & pepper. First wash up your Brussels sprouts and then pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees.

On a rimmed baking sheet, gently toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Roast, tossing occasionally, until sprouts are browned and tender when pierced with fork, about 15 minutes.

This miso tahini dressing is the perfect creamy dressing for warm quinoa or grain bowl, roasted vegetables, really any Plain Jane staple that you want to add a pop of flavor and nutrition to. 

Comment ‘miso” and I’ll send you the recipe.

It takes 5 minutes to whip up and uses 6 simple ingredients. It’s also dairy-free & vegan. The dressing gives a digestive boost from the lemon juice and some healthy fats to balance it all.

This dairy-free weeknight Bolognese is hands down my GO-TO bolognese! It’s the perfect and tastiest bolognese for those busy weeknights, as it takes under 45 minutes start to finish, but the sauce tastes like a sauce that’s been cooking on your stove top all day, not for just 30 minutes. It’s a fan and family favorite!

Comment ‘pasta’ and I’ll send you the recipe.

This is a great pasta to serve up if you’re entertaining friends because it feeds a crowd, especially if you pair the pasta with some crunchy garlic bread and big salad. 

The original recipe called for heavy cream and parmesan, but since I’m dairy-free, I’ve been making this sauce without the heavy cream and parmesan, and the kids haven’t even noticed the difference, and honestly, I think it tastes way better. I hope you love it!

These gluten free baked chicken tenders are one of my family’s favorite weeknight chicken recipes, and they get made weekly in my house. There’s no bad oils, gluten or frying involved.

Comment ‘chicken tenders’ and I’ll DM you the recipe.

The coating on this chicken is gluten-free, grain-free and chock-full of healthy ingredients, but you would never know that. The chicken is dredged in almond meal and nutritional yeast, and has a pop of kick of flavor from the cayenne pepper and smoked paprika. They also taste great cold, and I often eat a chicken tender post workout for some protein!

This is by far our favorite kale salad and has turned kale haters into kale lovers. 

Comment ‘kale’ and I’ll DM you the recipe! 

This is also the salad that got my kids to eat and love kale. 

Massaging the lemon dressing into the kale is key! I hope this salad turns you into a kale 🥬 lover! #kale #kalesalad #kalesalads #salad
Let’s make soaked chia seeds! Soaked chia seeds are a great item to have handy to add to your morning oatmeal, buckwheat porridge, or smoothies! 

Recipe below 👇 

Why soak them? 

Soaking chia seeds helps unlock their protein content, releases their nutrients, and improves digestibility making them more accessible for absorption into the body. It also keeps you fuller longer. 

Facts about chia seeds.

They’re an excellent source of anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids.
They’re high in fiber and contain more protein than most plant foods.
They also contain more calcium than milk. Say what!?

Recipe:
1 cup water, or almond milk,
hemp milk, or coconut milk 
1/4 cup chia seeds

Directions:

In a jar with a lid, add the milk & chia seeds.
Using a whisk give mixture a good stir to incorporate everything. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, give it another stir with a whisk to make sure everything is mixed together, and there are no chia clumps.
Cover and store in the fridge for a week. 
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to your warm bowl of porridge, oatmeal or to smoothies. Enjoy! 🤗
